[Samba] Access to home drive

[Chandra Sornam]

Hi Samba Experts

I raised this problem where its still waiting to be resolved. Would be
greatly appreciated if I can get some feedback. I did get a bit of help
but looked like it ended on the person's too hard basket.
Thanks 

Chandra

Have installed Samba 3 on a Linux box with Centos OS to be a file
server. Getting its authentication from a NT4 PDC. Have created samba
shares and members of the NT4 PDC group can successfully access the
group. The only problem is users cannot authenticate their home share
onmor
the Linux server.
A webinfo -r of the domain user gives the uid of the group the user is a
member of. The user can access the share successfully as well.
Have gone through the smb.conf and other config files, and done
extensive search on the net to figure out the problem but have hit a
blank wall. There are no noticeable errors in the log files that I can
see either.
