samba - Dec 2005 - Sharing out unix home directory via samba

Hello

Sharing out unix home directory via samba.  Home directory is /home/%
username% . However, samba insists on sharing this directory as /home/%
domain%/%username% .  So a user can see their home directory as server
%username% from windows.  But, when they click on it, they get an error
and the samba log says that the share /home/%domain%/%username% doesn't
exist.

Thanks

Regards,

Komal

What is the output of

getent passwd <username>

substituting <username> for one of the users in question.

--------

Im not sure but i think this with /home/[DOMAIN]/[username] have
something to do with winbind, because by default winbind users are
listed under /home/[DOMAIN]/[username]

But I have never had this problem.
