Samba 4 and Profile directory issues.

[Ricky Nance]

Odd thing, your mail was from several days ago, but it just came through on
my stuff today. Lets try a couple of things, try changing [users] to
[homes] and also adding a line under global:

template homedir = /home/%ACCOUNTNAME%

Also, comment out the directory_mode line, restart samba and then try
setting it in in your active directory users and computers as
\\10.10.10.5\homes\%USERNAME% and see if it works. Also can you double
check after these changes that your windows user can still write to
\\10.10.10.5\homes as well?

Thanks,
Ricky
