This is a Linux issue, not a samba issue!

Configure PAM for login so that it has pam_mkhomedir.so in the right
place. eg:

auth       requisite    pam_securetty.so
auth       requisite    pam_nologin.so
auth       optional     pam_env.so
auth       sufficient   pam_winbind.so
auth       sufficient   pam_pwdb.so       shadow nullok use_first_pass
account    required     pam_pwdb.so       nodelay audit
account    sufficient   pam_winbind.so
session    required     pam_mkhomedir.so
session    required     pam_pwdb.so       nodelay
password   required     pam_pwdb.so       shadow md5
