Win95 clients not logging in to Samba

[Luke Leighton]

ok - smbd's shouldn't exit under 1.9.16p11, either.  if they do, then 
i'd like to know how!  the \\%L\HOMES connection in password.c, and 
the \\%L\homes later in the code, you will need to change to \\%L\%U, 
if you want to stick with 1.9.16p11.

basically, you should never refer to \\%L\HOMES in a profile path: it 
should always be \\%L\%U.

Well, I guess so.  We've decided to go back to 1.9.16p11 because of 
the
smbd's not exiting in 1.9.17aplha5.  Anyways, with 1.9.16p11, we've
had to add Simeon Walker's NIS patches and I've noticed that in
the logs, Samba will connect the user to \\%L\HOMES.  Hmmm.  How can 
I
fix this properly in ipc.c?
