[Samba] Samba HOME Share

[Talwar, Puneet (NIH/NIAID)]

Well I have created the home dir with same name for the Windows user and yes
I am trying to pull the home dir from the Linux machine.  

Plus,  I am experiencing another problem now.  When I am trying to log into
the Linux machine via console it is taking a long time to login.  Even if I
try to login with Windows user AD account or local root account. HMMM!!!!
What can cause this problem?

If you're using winbind and you can log in with the user on your linux 
box, it sounds like you're almost there. Have you:
1. Created a dir on the linux machine with the name of your windows user
2. Set owner of said directory to the windows user
3. made sure the [homes] section is still there
4. defined (in AD) the location of your home directory to be 
\\linuxbox\windowsuser

This is all assuming that you were trying to pull the home directory 
from the linux machine.  If you're trying to go the other direction 
(home dir on win) you need a different setup.  It's been discussed here, 
but I don't know what to do for it.
