please dont obsolete the "HomeDir" attribute.  Many of our LDAP accounts have
different Homedir prefixes, so for us it is more useful to store the entire
path to the home directory in LDAP.  That being said, I can see how
HomedirOnDemandPrefix is useful in some situations.  I would just hope that it
could be done both ways (e.g.: use the prefix if its configured, otherwise, use
the value in LDAP...).

Anyway, thats just my position on this.
