samba - Feb 2004 - Samba 3.0.2 as PDC -- /home Directory always mapped

Hello,

I am usin Samba 3.0.2 on RHES 3.0 with w2k Clients.
When  i make the [homes] service available the clients can access the 
directory. But die directory will not be mapped on the Winows clients. 
When i comment it out the service in smb.conf, it is not available BUT 
in the log file i see "cannot connect to service "user". I think
this is
not good for performance.
I have much Data "behind" /home directory so i dont want the users to 
have access to this directories.
When i changed the home directories of the user in the /etc/passwd to 
i.e. /opt/user it work fine, but the dir get mapped on Z:\ automaticly 
on the client.
Is there a solution to let the win machine connect to a different 
"/home" direcorty of the user which will not be mapped.
Thanks

Could you just snip the part of your .conf file that defines logon path,
logon script logon home and logon drive. This would give me a better
idea of what you are trying to accomplish. 
>From what you wrote, it sounds like you want the users, when they log in
on your Windows clients to have there home drive mapped automatically
(/opt/user), but not on Z:
logon drive = defaults to Z: even if it is not in the .conf file. Just
add it and fill in the drive you prefer. 
Leave [homes] the way it was - read only = no ; browseable = no and make
sure your logon home = \\%L\%u and you should have no other problems.
I'm assuming you do not have and Win98 boxes, and that you are not
running a NIS server.

Look forward to hearing back.
