Sorry: the user told me she was in, but she is using someone else's
password. (her supervisor's)

It's no longer that she can't write to her home directory: she can't
log in at all now.

I have tried to reset her password using 'smbpasswd -a patience' to
reset the password, but it doesn't work; she cannot access the server.
