now that all permissions are right - if i create a new user on the win 2003 active directory and specify a home user under profile i will get " the home folder could not be created because: the network name cannot be found" I know for sure I am getting that error because the user home folder doesn't exist yet on the samba machine - is there any way to get the user home created automatically once a new user are added to active directory.
Note: If the new user log in the linux terminal the home user will be created automatically because i am using session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0077 in my pam.d/system_auth. how do i get the same thing working when i create a user with active directory. Thanks for you help ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I removed the "valid users = %S" and it worked - Thanks for you help On 1/15/07, M Azer <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:Hello all, I am running samba-3.0.23c-2 on Redhat 3 enterprise as ADS.
