Samba is a domain member server authenticating to a MS-Windows domain controller.
With 3.0.7 and all previous version for the past few years I could map a Windows to Unix userid in the username map file like so.. fred = fredw His home directory was then accessible as \\servername\fredw so \\servername\%username% from a Windows NTx client. I make EXTENSIVE use of that functionality. I missed the 3.0.8 release where I take it this actually changed but after spending hours today with the 3.0.9 release today I eventually figure out that my username map now has to have entries like so.. fred = MYDOMAIN\fredw fine I can deal with that, but what's killing me is that then a share named fredw doesn't get automatically created via the [homes] section like it used to. With previous versions of Samba \\servername\fred, \\servername\homes, and \\servername\fredw where all available. With the new Samba only \\servername\fred and \\servername\homes are created, no fredw. A Windows NT client trying to connect to \\servername\%username% is out of luck since its effectively using \\servername\fredw. I have thousands of such clients. I have about 14,000 users and over 2500 of them require username mappings in my username map file and they all access their home share as \\servername\%username%. Have mercy on me oh gods of Samba.
