HPUX / AIX / Samba 2.0.6 I'm trying and getting frustrated with configuration of the SMB.CONF file to get the [homes] share to be the only name listed when users browse to these servers. I don't want to have the share auto renamed to the user name that is attaching. The SMB.CONF help file states that this can be done. Can someone please tell me the SMB.CONF [homes] variables that need

I've attempted to follow the examples in "Samba-3 by Example" to no success. I've also followed the tutorial: http://bob.rasey.net/archives/000137.html, which

When adding a domain user to a samba 3.6 PDC I found that the [homes] share was not created. It turns out there was no home directory specified in /etc/password for this user.

Is this expected behavior

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!

Hi, I have followed the worked example in the HOWTO documentation for the small Engineering Office which demonstrates how to configure Samba-3 as the PDC for an NT domain.

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.

Hello! We have several sun solaris servers which are now serve Samba 3 services. For 2 weeks we migrate all servers from Samba 2 to Samba 3. After the upgrade to Samba 3 all shares generated by [home]-section in smb.conf have case sensitive names. For example: Besides root user john exists on the server and has a home folder.

Hello all - I've worked through several google (as well as a searchable samba mailing list) searches, but haven't found a direct answer to my problem.
