For local login to our samba server, we are using posix information
stored in an openldap directory. - I can log in via shell with no problems.
We are authenticating samba against AD2003. I can attach to the samba
server from both windows and macintosh - just not access my home directory.
Currently, "template homedir = /home/%U" - which results in a path of
/home/<username>
I would like to use the homeDirectory field found in openldap - which is
different for different classes of users.
i.e.:
/usr/guests/guest_name
/usr/netapp/student/student_name
/usr/netapp/faculty/faculty_name
/usr/netapp/staff/staff_name
I have tried templete homedir = %$(env HOME), but it does not work:

lib/substitute.c:expand_env_var(190)
Aug 24 14:04:46 vmnode10 smbd[15826]: expand_env_var: Environment
variable [HOME] not set
I assume I just can't figure out the correct syntax for the "template
homedir". Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Thank you! I was able to solve this issue by "template homedir = %p" %p is the variable for the NIS path name of the service Karen R McArthur wrote:> For local login to our samba server, we are using posix information > stored in an openldap directory. - I can log in via shell with no > problems. > We are authenticating samba against AD2003.
