Hi, I am having a very difficult time mapping home directories with Windows XP machines connecting to my samba 3 primary domain controller running on a debian sarge machine. The pdc works fine but the home directories of each user refuse to mount and map as a network drive (i.e.. as Z:) .... here is my smb.conf file.... [global] ;basic server settings workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = bill server string = Samba PDC running %v socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 ;PDC and master browser settings os level = 64 preferred master = yes local master = yes domain master = yes domain logons = yes ;security and logging settings security = user encrypt passwords = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m log level = 2 max log size = 50 hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 ;user profiles and home directory logon drive = z: logon home = \\%L\%U\ logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon script = netlogon.bat # ==== shares === [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes writeable = yes guest ok = no [profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles writeable = yes browseable = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/netlogon read only = yes browseable = no write list = admin Thanks.
