Variable substitution in smb.conf

[Joshua Colson]

Hello everyone,

  I have approx. 1000 users accessing a samba server, each with there own
user dir. Currently I have samba set up to map users to 
/basedir/%u
but because there are so many users, I want to break up the directory
structure.  I would like to take the first two letters of each username
connecting, and map their directories to a subdir.  If I've been confusing
in this request, then maybe an example is in order.

Two users, john, and billy.
John connects and gets mapped to:
/basedir/jo/john
and Billy connects and gets mapped to:
/basedir/bi/billy

Can this be done with samba?
