[Samba] Easy way of sharing sub-directories?

[Colmer, Philip]

We are gradually migrating our users away from Sun Solstice NFS client over
to using Samba on the Solaris servers. The PCs that the users use run
Windows NT.

We've hit a snag. Some of the directories that we are sharing out need to
have the drive letters mapped to sub-directories of the share. This seems to
be possible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP, but NT doesn't seem to be able
to do it.

As a workaround, I thought it might be possible to use something like the
"home" directive, but you can only have one of them and it does user
validation against the folder name being asked for, so that fails for a
couple of reasons :-)

Can anyone suggest a way of allowing NT clients to map drive letters onto
sub-directories ... without me having to enumerate each and every
sub-directory in the smb.conf file?

Is there a mechanism in Samba for supporting what I want to do?

Thanks.
