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

[Kristyan Osborne]

Hi,
 
Make sure you have 
logon drive = p:
logon home = \\%L\%U
in your smb.conf file in the global section (you may need to HUP smbd)
 
from your win2k box you should be able to do     net use h: /home
 
If this doesnt work then run the command   net user yourusername /domain
This command will tell you where windows thinks the home directory is. (this should be \\server\username)
 
Cheers

	Jer,
	It looks like you have a seperate logon script for each user. Samba is
	supposed to work with one generic logon script for all users when the
	homes share is setup and 'logon drive=H' and 'net use H: /home'.
