Jeremy, can you take a look at this?  This is in response to someone on the
samba mailing list worrying about it.

Subject: Different [homes] behavior in 2.2.2
X-Original-Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 23:09:28 -0500


Is it possible to configure samba to disregard the home directory in the
passwd file when using [homes]?  Even though an alternate "path" is set
in [homes], the service fails since the unix home directory is invalid
(nonexistent) on the server.

[...]

This behavior of validating the user's home dir as set in the passwd
files appears to be new
in 2.2.2 and the latest CVS. Anyway to work around this?
