[Samba] Samba 2.0.25 won't accept home directory location from ADS

[George Farris]

Here at the College we have configured a Samba server as an ADS member
server and have everything working nicely except one rather large
detail.

The people that setup the domain accounts have custom "profile" and home
drive locations depending on the last two characters of the user name.  

For example a user with the id of 545238794 will have their profile
pointed to \\servername\profiles\9\4\545238794 and their home directory
is pointed to \\servername\users\9\4\545238794

Now Samba handles the profile directory without problem with a small
script to create the folder with "root preexec", however, there doesn't
seem to be a way to have the home mapped.  In the log files it always
points to /home/domain/username no matter what is set from ADS.

Is this a feature that Samba lacks or is it a bug?

Is it possible to have the home mapped differently?  If so how?

Thank you
