Help also wanted with the same issue:-

I am using the the same version of Samba, same version of SLES and experiencing
an identical problem with the "valid users=%S" setting on the homes
share  - "
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED".

One key difference between my environment and Rob's is my environment is
relying
on a Windows AD server for authentication and I am running smbclient -k.

smbclient work okay with the %S commented out but fails when uncommented

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
