I've compiled samba 3.0.2a on Solaris 8 and have issues with home directory mounting.
We previously had two servers each Solaris 8 running 2.2.8a, one as a pdc, the other as a bdc.
Our users have their home directories split across the two servers, and the home directory was under 2.2.8a mounted by way of the NIS automap feature. They could log on to a WinXP machine (which was a member of the samba domain), and they would have their h: home mapped on log in through "net use h: /home".
But since the upgrade to 3.0.2a, WinXP will not map the home drive.
I compiled 3.0.2a with --with-automount, and a look at the %N variables brings up the correct host from the NIS auto.home map. However, when trying to use "net use h: /home" on WinXP to mount the home directory off Samba, WinXP says
"The user's home directory could not be determined."
The home share, however, does show up in the browse list of the server under Network Places and can be accessed.
On the server, executing "pdbedit -u username -v" gives no value for home directory, but home drive appears as "h:". Trying to change this with
pdbedit -u username -r -h \\\\server\homesharename
does nothing (in fact, no option wants to change by pdbedit).
Any clues?
Server logs say nothing at all.
