Hi After yesterday and samba not linking the %u switch we now have a samba server up and running, joined to our domain and wbinfo -u responds with all the domain users :) The add user script i`ve put in so far partly works it creates the user, but no home directory, even though browsing to the linux box still gves you //samba_server/User_name. But no home directory is created. deleting the the user in yast it asks me if i want to delte the users home directory as well, but obvioulsy one doesn`t exsist. Can any one offer me any help as to home to get a users home directory created on the fly. Thanks for any assistance, 3 days left to get it working, below is my smb.conf Top of Form 1 # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 151.151.8.225 (151.151.8.225) # Date: 2004/02/10 17:04:53 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = LINK_51 netbios name = TWEETY security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = Yes password server = linktel,telras,bhill1 log level = 1 syslog = 0 unix extensions = Yes socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY printcap name = CUPS add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd %U -d /home/%U domain logons = Yes os level = 2 preferred master = False local master = No domain master = False wins server = 151.151.3.202 winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 printing = cups veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/ [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /home valid users = %S read only = No only user = Yes browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp create mask = 0600 printable = Yes browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 Bottom of Form 1 Cheers Andy Dean IT Services E-Mail Disclaimer: The information in this e-mail is confidential, and may be legally privileged.
