Done too but now, when I select a group of users and try to change their
properties the Home and Profile fields to \\10.10.10.5\homes\%USERNAME%
it returns Access is Denied (I haven't created any home directory) it
usually created the directories automatically after the PAM changes and
all of your suggestions it can't be done anymore, I-m sure it's due to
some permission thing but I just can't fiure it out myself.
Thanks for your help.
