This sounds more like an Windows problem, but it is an interaction with Samba and I'm hoping someone has an idea of where to start looking.
3 times in the past week I've had a user (different user each time) come to me saying their P: drive is inaccessible, access denied. The P: drive is set in the user's Active Directory Profile as their home directory \\sambaserver\home$\%username% If I have them access their home directory using a UNC through explorer, it works fine. I can either have them unmap and remap P: or logout and log back in again, and everything is fine. So, clearly, the Samba server is accepting their credentials. But something is happening between Windows 2000 and the Samba server causing Windows to get confused. Up until 3 weeks ago, we were using a Windows 2000 file server, so Samba is the only new introduction. I'm dedicated to getting this Samba solution to work, despite the crappy support by BackupExec that I'm finding with my backups, but this is something I'd like to nip in the bud, if I can. I'm running 3.0.20b on SuSE 10.0. I'm using the Suse rpms, except I rebuilt them to include the idmap_rid support.
