Hallo, zingalo,

Du meintest am 03.05.12:

>>> yes, home directories are specified in the homeDirectory attribute
>>> as:

>>> //amahoro/users/zingalo

>> That's the samba notation. //$SERVER/$SHARE

> You mean my notation is wrong?

No - that's one kind of notation.
When this share is mounted then you see this notation in the first  
column of "df".

>> What tells
>>
>>          df

> df on the client?

> Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

No samba share is mounted, the client can't access its home share on the  
server.

For the first try just replace the variables with constants, p.e. your  
username (on the server), your password (on the server) etc.

Viele Gruesse!
