Hi, Attached is a patch for SAMBA_2_2 that fixes a problem that I think appeared in Samba 2.2.2.
The problem is with the user home directory existence check in the lp_add_home function in param/loadparm.c, and it stops users without proper passwd entries from be able to connect to Samba. (The background to this is that our Samba servers only have stub passwd entries for non-administrators. As a result, the home directory existence check will always fail, despite the fact that our configuration later assigns each user a valid directory using "path = %p" and the NIS auto.home feature.)
