Hi there,
I have following homes section on my smb.conf file.
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
valid users = %S
guest ok = no
path = /home/remote/%U
root preexec = /usr/local/sbin/mkhomdironfly.sh %U
script to make home directory i.e mkhomdironfly.sh
if [ ! -e /home/remote/$1 ]; then
mkdir /home/remote/$1
cp /etc/skel/* /home/remote/$1
chown -R $1 /home/remote/$1
chgrp -R "domain users" /home/remote/$1
chmod -R 700 /home/remote/$1
fi
exit 0
~
I was able to login but the home directory is not created. And it does not show
any sort of errors in the log file.
i have also created /home/remote with drwsr-x--- permission and "domain
users" as group.
drwsr-x--- 3 root domain users 4096 May 30 09:41 remote
But still home directory is not created.
Thank You.

What OS ? What Samba version ? Rowland

Try this smb.conf: [global] ## Browsing/Identification ### # set to act as domain member in an ADS realm realm = EXAMPLE.NET workgroup = DOMAIN security = ads #### Debugging/Accounting #### # use a separate log file for each machine that connects log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m # Cap the size of the individual log files (in KiB). max log size = 1000 # nothing is logged through syslog, but sent to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead syslog = 0 # Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d # Winbind configuration idmap config * : backend = tdb idmap config * : range = 3000-7999 # seeing as you were trying to get data from ldap, I think you must have # uidNumber & gidNumber attributes in AD # If so use the next four lines. idmap config DOMAIN : backend = ad idmap config DOMAIN : unix_nss_info = yes idmap config DOMAIN : schema_mode = rfc2307 idmap config DOMAIN : range = 10000-999999 # If you haven't got uidNumber & gidNumber attributes in AD, comment the # four lines above and uncomment the next two lines. #idmap config DOMAIN : backend = rid #idmap config DOMAIN : range = 10000-999999 winbind separator = + # this option will remove 'DOMAIN\' from user & group names # but must not be used if multiple domains are used winbind use default domain = yes template homedir = /home/remote/%U template shell = /bin/bash domain master = no local master = no preferred master = no usershare allow guests = no Please read the comments around the 'idmap config' lines. Do not bother with a script to create the homedirs, let PAM do it for you. Add this line to the end of /etc/pam.d/common-session session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022 Rowland

Thank You.If you want to mount the clients homedir from the server, we need to know what the clients OS is. Rowland

There are several ways of doing what you want. investigate NFS, autofs, pam-script, pam-mount, cifs-mount etc and make your choice. Rowland
