is 'kilbirnie' home folder actually owned by user.kilbirnie ?  I am
unclear about the user. prefix

Craig

The user.kilbirnie is the user id that has been setup in the NT4 Domain.


Have assigned user to be owner of the home drive. Tried with the group
(domain user) to have full access fro testing

drwxrwx---   2 DOMAIN\user.kilbirnie DOMAIN\Domain Users      4096 Oct
2 11:00 user.kilbirnie

Thanks
