[Samba] Strange Samba Behavior....

[Tait Shrum]

We have a user at one of our remote sites that is not getting an H: 
drive.  This is a problem that we've normally been able to resolve.  In 
this instance, when looking at the logs - there are no errors or even no 
mention of the user attempting to connect to her home directory.  Samba 
does record, however, her connection to her apps drive and other 
miscellaneous drives.  Samba is at version3.0.2pre1-1. We automatically 
rectified any permissions issues, but that didn't solve anything.  We 
deleted the user and added her back.  No go.  We even removed her home 
directory and and let the server recreate the directory when her account 
was added back.  That didn't fix the problem.  At the moment, she is 
able to login with another username and everyone else at this school has 
a home directory. But, we want her to be able to login with her "real" 
username.  This problem has existed since we upgraded to Samba 3.0 
beta.Can anyone help decipher what's going wrong here?
