[Samba] Can't run Xwindows with home mounted by samba

[fabio.fcarvalho at ig.com.br]

Hi, 

I´m trying to configure a Redhat Linux Workstation to work in my Windows NT 
Domain (NT PDC). My goal is take out all NT Workstations, changing it to 
Linux Workstations. I've got almost everything working wonderfully: 
1-winbind is authenticating my domain users with pam_winbind 
2-samba is mounting NT directories at login with pam_mount 

The big problem is about use Xwindows with home directory mounted by samba 
2.2.4 in /home/ffcarvalho. I'm mounting it with fmask and dmask = 0777, but 
when I try to run startx, I get this error: 
___________________________________________________________ 
$ startx 
xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/ffcarvalho/.Xauthority 
xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/ffcarvalho/.Xauthority 
xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/ffcarvalho/.Xauthority 
xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/ffcarvalho/.Xauthority 

Fatal server error: 
PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server. 
        Perhaps you do not have console ownership?

giving up. 
xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X server 
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  unexpected signal 2. 
xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/ffcarvalho/.Xauthority 
$

It's essential that my domain users work with Xwindows. 

Can I solve it using some PAM or some "smb.conf" configuration? How can I 
solve this problem? Could someone help me, please? If we get it, we can 
FINALLY say good-bye to Windows Workstations (yeah!!!). 

Thanks,
