[Samba] Home Directories

[Ross McInnes]

Hi all.

Quick question, (background 1st)

Using Win2k3 AD with samba as a service (filestore)

Added a user called sb05

C:\>net user sb05
User name                    sb05
Full Name                    Someone Bright
Comment                      stu000000

Country code                 000 (System Default)

Password required            Yes
User may change password     Yes

Workstations allowed         All
Logon script                 logon.bat
User profile                 \\DEV1\sb05\PC\Profile
Home directory               \\DEV1\sb05
Last logon                   Never

Logon hours allowed          All

Local Group Memberships
Global Group memberships     *Domain Users         *students
The command completed successfully.

Home directory is set to \\dev1\sb05 etc

However, getent passwd shows....

sb05:x:10017:10018:sb05:/home/DEV-DOMAIN/sb05:/bin/false

Ergo they don't match up :/

[root at dev1 2005]# cd ~sb05
-bash: cd: /home/DEV-DOMAIN/sb05: No such file or directory

Technically the home is /home/Students/2005/sb05

Any thoughts / ideas why they are different?

Thanks

Ross
