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

[Shawn Wright]

Hold on a sec. I just re-read your original posts, and it's not clear on the 
client side. Are they win2k domain users mapping to samba home 
shares? If so, the PDC needs to know the home share path also. When 
we migrated 400 of our users from NT to samba home drives, we ran a 
script to update the PDC to point at the new home share location. This is 
where a windows domain member will look for its home share location. 
Do a net user <username> /domain to see the location that it's trying to 
map the drive to.
But perhaps I've misread your description...
