Re: [Samba] mapping home directories using samba/ADS when users accts don't match

[Lisa Smith]

Yah, I think I just found it... it's one of those things where you've 
been staring at the problem all day and its sitting there staring you in 
the face.  doh!   My apologies for the dumb questions.

...for the record for other samba idiots like myself:

Mapping Unix users

   If you don't want to create a Unix account for each Windows user who
   can log into your server, you can use a mapping file. In this file,
   you will map some Windows users to an existing Unix user.
   This can alos be interesting when you have a Windows account greater
   than 8 characters and an Unix OS which don't enable you to use
   account name greater than 8 characters.
   An example of mapping file follow :
       root = administrator admin
       user1 = randy steve mike holly
       user2 = jake william stephan harold
       peterT = peter_thornston
       daveD = davidDonaldson
   Each line has the format <unix user> = <Windows user1> <Windows
   user2> ... A comment line begin with a #.
   When the file is ready, you just have to tell Samba where he can
   find it with the parameter username map = /path/to/usermap.
