[Samba] Creating Home Directories for Windows 2003 AD users

[Tim Holmes]

Thanks to the great help here and on the FEDORA CORE List, I have gotten
samba to work correctly to do what I need it to, allowing my windows AD
users to access shares on the samba box without having to either create
a local (samba / linux) user or manually authenticate on the share.
This is GREAT NEWS

Now, 

I have hit what I am sure is a linux permissions problem:

When my user (timholmes) clicks on the samba server in the My Network
Places window, I see the shares, In this case webroot, homes and
timholmes

If I enter the timholmes share, it routes me to the directory where the
home folders are supposed to be located, and showes me the one that is
there, but I cannot create a new folder for myself or anything -- is
that a process that must be done manually, and if so, to what values do
I set the owner, group and permissions?

If it is supposed to be automatic, how do I make it happen?

Here is my smb.conf file


[global]

         workgroup = MCASCHOOL
         realm = MCASCHOOL.NET
         security = ADS
         password server = srvdc01.mcaschool.net
         log file = /usr/local/samba/var/%m.log
         preferred master = No
         local master = No
         domain master = No
         wins server = 192.168.0.2
         idmap uid = 10000-40000
         idmap gid = 10000-40000
         # winbind use default domain = Yes
         winbind enum users = yes
         winbind enum groups = yes
         winbind nested groups = Yes
         socket options = TCP_NODELAY
         socket options = SO_RCVBUF=8192
         spengo = yes

[webroot]
         path = /var/www/html/
         read only = No


[homes]
        browseable = no
        writeable = yes
        path = /home
