Wow that is a major shortcoming.  Many small businesses, home users, and
nonprofits don't need multiple boxes for their server needs.  Seems aweful
shortsighted to exclude this fairly large cross-section of users.

So you are saying the AD DC needs to have all home dirs in
/home/workgroup/username or it won't provide unique smb shares to them?

Can you provide you wmb.conf fragment for the home share?

Thanks.
