samba - Oct 2002 - Another winbind question (hopefully easy one)

I setup SAMBA to use winbind to authenticate of a WinNT PDC

In the smb.conf I have a line
template homedir = /home/winnt/%U 
which is file

I also use the pam module to create directories for
new users
pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/sambaskel umask=0077

which is fine again.


My problem is that I can't tell or how do I tell pam_mkhomedir
to create the directories in /home/winnt/<user>
instead it creates them in /home/<user>


Any ideas?????

Thanks

You should check with getent passwd is the settings in smb.conf are
visible. getent passwd displays a passwd listing that is the combination
of the /etc/passwd en the information winbind imports from you windows
domain.

If getent doesn't report back the correct /home dir then make sure you
edited the correct smb.conf file and maybe try to restart winbind to make
in reload (maybe seding a -SIGHUP would also work) the smb.conf file.

Kind regards,
