[Samba] Access to home drive (Resolved)

[Chandra Sornam]

This is now been resolved. The problem is to do with the "valid users"
in the smb.conf file. Am running Samba Version 3.0.10-1.4E.9. Commenting
out this seems to have fixed the problem. Presume "valid users" only
work on samba versions 3.0.23 c and above. Dale, thanks again for your
help.

If you are using the 3.0.23 c or d version of Samba, one possibility is
to make the following change:
valid users = DOMAIN\%S (assuming that "\" is your winbind separator)
If you are using 3.0.23 --> 3.0.23b, you will have to get rid of the
"valid users" directive or upgrade to c or d.
If you're using some other version, then ???????

Good luck,
Dale

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

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. 
 
Samba Config file as below
