[Samba] Re: net use H: /home does not work

[Tom.Williams at diversifiedsoftware.com]

I've got Samba installed on AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris servers.  I have
"Homes" configured on each of them and when we map drives from Windows, we
map the user's home directory directly:

net use H: \\{server}\tom

and "tom" is my Unix login id and the name of my home directory on that
box.

Are your Windows IDs different from the defined Unix account names?

Peace....

Tom

That was already set correctly. It still does not work.
