Hi:
The home directory isn't being maped to a letter (as in netuse h: /home).
After the user chooses the machine the user must login, he then sees in
the window a folder with the same name as his userid. The user must then
choose this folder to enter his home directory.
I want him to go directly into the folder without having to choose it.
Regards,
Jerry
> I just want to make sure I understand you correctly before making any
other recommendations. It sounds as though your users are able to login,
and have a drive mapped to some directory on your server that CONTAINS
all your users' home directories. Is that correct? If it is, how do you
have your home directories setup compared to what is listed for each
user in /etc/passwd (or corresponding LDAP entry)? Samba *SHOULD* be
mapping each home directory accessed to each user's home directory as
listed in /etc/passwd when a user maps the drive using net use h: /home
(or any other drive letter, of course).>

opening on startup to a user's home directory, but that sounds like the
less-likely scenario.>

create a login script, where you run a command like

Samba will go directly to the users' home directories. Hope it
