The [homes] share has worked for me.
If you have UNIX users on the samba box that match the NT domain users,
then samba should automagically create a share when the user authenticates,
however, since you're auth from a PDC, that information might not be
available,
in which case, something like:
path = /home/$S
in the [homes] section should work (assuming the NT usernames match the
names of the home directories)
Try [homes] without that line first to see if it works. And read the section in
the
man page for smb.conf on this, it's very informative.
