When adding a domain user to a samba 3.6 PDC I found that the [homes] share
was not created. It turns out there was no home directory specified in
/etc/password for this user. Once a linux home directory was added the
[homes] share worked, but I would expect this to work anyway since a
different path is being used for windows home directories than for the linux
users. Is this expected behavior or a bug?
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home/samba/homes/%S
strict allocate = yes
read only = No
create mask = 0700
browseable = No
valid users = %S
