[Samba] samba as a domain member

[Guillermo Gutierrez]

this is what the samba by machine name log for my system looks like (log.<machinename>) :

[2006/03/02 06:51:10, 1] smbd/sesssetup.c:reply_spnego_kerberos(322)
  make_server_info_pac failed!
[2006/03/02 06:51:11, 1] smbd/sesssetup.c:reply_spnego_kerberos(322)
  make_server_info_pac failed!
[2006/03/02 06:51:26, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(557)
  write_data: write failure in writing to client 10.11.7.120. Error Connection reset by peer
[2006/03/02 06:51:26, 0] lib/util_sock.c:send_smb(765)
  Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. (Connection reset by peer)


Here is the second samba log with IP appended to it instead of machine name( log. 10.11.7.120, why?)

The correct path is whatever is correct to you... The %D is not necessary,
the %U is - as it designates the user.

Tail your /var/log/messages file as you attempt to connect (ensure logging
set to at least 2 or 3 in smb.conf)...this will tell you if it is a path
error or a permissions error.  The Windows errors are not that helpful.  


To look at a home directory with /home/%D/%U try to connect with
\\server\username

The same is for /home/%U you connect with \\server\username
