Hi, I had tried posting this to the newsgroups twice but never got a
response. Please see below...is mapping to \\server\homes no longer
supported in samba 3.0.1 or above? Please let us know; thanks!
The homes share is not mapping properly anymore once upgrading to samba 3.
This works without problems in samba 2.2.8a and 3.0.0. However I have seen
this problem consistently in 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3 and 3.0.4; if I go back to
2.2.8a then the problem goes away. I have searched the newsgroups and
others have had the same problem, but no one had found a solution and said
that "homes" as a mapping was no longer supported (which I am hoping
is not
the case).
>From windows 2000 clients, I have an NT profile home drive mapping to
\\MachineName\homes. When I sign on this does not map and I get a message
in the log.smbd file of "Can't become connected user!". If
mapping manually
it says "network path not found". If I change this to
\\MachineName\Username (where Username is my login ID) then it works fine;
it is the generic "homes" mapping that broke in 3.0.1 and up. Any
help
would be greatly appreciated...is this a bug, or is this officially not
supported anymore in samba 3?
