[Samba] Homedrive mapping

[Ben Vaughan]

Yes, that does make sense and that is the way it is configured.  

Users are able to map drives manually without any problems.

The samba servers are setup in domain mode, authenticating to an Active
Directory.  Encrypted passwords are enabled and winbind is working properly.

Thanks

Ben
