Re: [Samba] Designate one samba server for home directories

2009-10-06 Thread Luv Linux
I tried it but didn't work.  I also tried for the home path,
\\remote_smb_server\%U file://remote_smb_server/%25U (replaced
remote_smb_server with the actual remote smb servername) but in the log, it
says Error was No such file or directory and it puts forward slash in
front of it,
/\\remote_smb_server\%U in the log...

 Hello all,

 I have a few samba servers running winbind that are joined to the AD 2003

 Is it possible to designate one samba server to host the users' home

 If we have samba1, samba2, and samba3 and designate samba1 to host the
 home
 directories and when a user accesses samba 2 either via ssh or as a share,
 the home directory that the user sees would actually be present on samba1.

 If this is possible, what changes do I need to make to smb.conf file?


 Have you tried specifying the server name in the directory name? From the
 SWAT documentation on homes:

 Example: //|logon home|/ = |\\remote_smb_server\%U
