samba - Sep 2004 - auto Sync username when connecting SMB using winbind feature

I have question, if I have about 500 Active Directory users on my network
and I would like them to connect to my Linux server via SMB from MS Windows
box.  Would there be any way where I can setup an auto mount of the users
home directory on the Linux Server, so I can avoid adding 500 users to the
Linux server?

Thanks,

I always find the documentation is a good place to start...

OK, I was able connect to the server from a Windows box and I can see the
user name, but when I click on it say network path not found.  I assume I am
able to establish a connection and the authentication succeeded, but it
can't mount the folder.

So I am kind a stuck at this point, and would appreciate any help on this
issue.

Thanks,
