[Samba] Home share mapping

[Auleta, Michael]

The clients are both Win2K PC's and Windows Terminal Server running NT4.  I
have some Macs runing Dave, but they haven't been tested yet.  I just ran a
truss, and the user id shows up alright, but the group id shows up as -1.  I
see a stat64 function that returns /home/users/groupname/username, then a
few lines later I see another stat64 function that returns 
/home/users/-1/username.

Michael:

Are the clients running Win2k?  Can you trace the running smbd process?
This looks like my problem.  With Win2k the macros %u and %U seem to
be intepretted as "nobody" in some situations.  Nothging shows in the
log to indicate this, however, hence the need to run "truss" (or strace,
etc.) on the running smbd.
