samba - Jun 2003 - Samba3-beta1 as a PDC and using tdbsam as passdb backend it takes the home-directory info from /etc/passwd

I didn't get any answers so I try again:


I am using tdbsam as passdb backand.

I have added root user with pdbedit.

The machine trust account was added on the fly.

I have added the user with pdbedit.

I have created the user in /etc/passwd.

When the user logs in from a W2k and mounts the home-directory I noticed
that Samba didn't take the home-directory information from tdbsam, it 
took it from /etc/passwd.

Is that correct ?

I assumed it would use the info in tdbsam.

tdbsam stores only NT things like the profile path and the drive letter
to map it to - it does not store the unix info, like their unix home
directory.

Depends what do you meen by getting home-directory information.
If you would refer to getting the /home/username from /etc/passwd, thats 
correct, this is what happen because of the sambas [homes] share, on the 
other side "rich" SAM databases such as tdbsam provide som NT-ish 
things, like homedrive, profilepath, and logonscript, I'm afraid, that 
you are confusing this two categories.
