smbd/reply.c Bug?

[Víctor Pons Colomer]

Hi all.

I have a problem with both the main branch and the beta2 branch with home
directories user validations.

In smb.conf I have homes setup as follows:

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	user only = yes
	browseable = yes

It used to work two weeks ago.
But when you put the user database it stopped working.
The problem is that when i try to enter the home directory it says Error
bad user/password in the logs, and Win (both NT and 98) insists in asking
for user and pwd.

Debugging it I found in smbd/reply.c function reply_tcon_and_X that if the
packet sent by Win doesn't contain a '%' character it doesn't fit the user
parameter, so validation doesn't work

I don't know if is a bug or a bad configuration. I tried setting in
[homes] path = /%H but it still doesn't work

TIA!
