[Samba] Home Directory Winbind

[Talwar, Puneet (NIH/NIAID)]

I think I am encountering similar problem here.  From a Windows box I am
able to connect to the server and I can see my username share folder but for
some reason it keeps telling me that it can't find the network path found.
Could it be that it is not creating the home dir even though I have stated
the same line in /etc/pam.d/system-auth file and even after looking at your
smb.conf file setting, I have a similar setup.

session     required      /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/
umask=0077


Please let if you come across similar issue while creating a home dir when
the users logs onto the server?

Thanks,

Finally saw what the problem was -- on my [homes] path = /home/users/%u 
which should be %U for NT users. Used authconf to handle the pam.d config 
for winbind.

Again thanks for the help!
