[Samba] Cannot see home folder on MAC OS X

[Eugene Joubert]

Hi,

> I am running Samba 2.2.7a-58 on a SuSE 8.2 system. I have a few PC

> shares on the server, but can't access their home folders. They can't 
> even see the home folder. Going via netatalk it works fine. I have 
> gone through some documentation and can not find anything pertaining 
> to my problem. The PCs can acess their home folders just fine.

> Testparm runs with no errors. Just no home folders available for the 
> mac os x users. When I look in my samba logfiles, I can see that the 
> clients are connecting to samba using nobody as the username. Sure
