John, Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm logging into a Linux/Solaris machine running winbind, I'm using my windows username and password to login. At the moment I use pam_mkhomedir to create a new home directory automatically but it would be nice to map to the users existing home drive on the NT server instead.

I am sure I documented this. :) There are three ways by which you can automap a network drive connection: 1) Through the User Profile information in passwd backend. frodo:~ # pdbedit -Lv jht Unix username: jht NT username: Account Flags: [UX ] User SID: S-1-5-21-1593769616-160655940-3590153233-2000 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-1593769616-160655940-3590153233-512 Full Name: John H Terpstra Home Directory: \\frodo\jht HomeDir Drive: H: Logon Script: scripts\logon.bat Profile Path: \\frodo\Profiles\jht Domain: MIDEARTH Account desc: Master Sleuth and Watchmaker Workstations: Munged dial: Logon time: 0 Logoff time: Mon, 18 Jan 2038 20:14:07 GMT Kickoff time: Sat, 02 Jan 2038 00:00:00 GMT Password last set: Sat, 16 Aug 2003 22:57:25 GMT Password can change: Sat, 16 Aug 2003 22:57:25 GMT Password must change: Mon, 18 Jan 2038 20:14:07 GMT See above the "Home Directory" and "HomeDir Drive" entries. 2) By storing persistent drive connections as part of the users' desktop profile in their roaming profile. 3) Through a network logon script. The command that would do this for the home directory is: net use H: /home - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
