I have just installed samba-1.9.18p3 on a DEC 3000/300 running OSF/1 v3.0 (uname -mrsv gives: "OSF1 V3.0 347 alpha"). It was compiled using the built-in cc compiler. Special options in the Makefile: FLAGSM = -DOSF1 -DNETGROUP -DUFC_CRYPT -FAST_SHARE_MODES LIBSM The server is a NIS client. Everything seemed to work O.K. except for the homes service. Connecting to \\computername\username worked O.K. Previously samba-1.9.17p3 was installed on the same computer, and the homes service worked O.K. No changes was made to the smb.conf file after installing samba-1.9.18p3. The homes section in smb.conf looked like this: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes I have experimented a bit trying to find out what to do to make the homes service work with the new samba version. I found out that if I change the homes section in smb.conf to look like this: [homes] comment = Home Directories path = %H browseable = no writable = yes Then it works O.K. Without the "path = %H" line, the error message in the log file is: Can't change directory to (No such file or directory) Has anyone else experienced this problem ? Anders Gytri
