I just want to make sure I understand you correctly before making any other recommendations. It sounds as though your users are able to login, and have a drive mapped to some directory on your server that CONTAINS all your users' home directories. Is that correct? If it is, how do you have your home directories setup compared to what is listed for each user in /etc/passwd (or corresponding LDAP entry)? Samba *SHOULD* be mapping each home directory accessed to each user's home directory as listed in /etc/passwd when a user maps the drive using net use h: /home (or any other drive letter, of course).

The other possible scenario I can see is that Windows Explorer isn't opening on startup to a user's home directory, but that sounds like the less-likely scenario.

Thanks for answering.

What I meant was , after a user logs in there is another folder
to click to enter the users home directory. I want to go directly
into the home directory.

Samba alone will not automatically map a user's home directory to any
specific drive. The best way (that I know of) to implement this is to
create a login script, where you run a command like this:

net use h: /home

That should map the H drive on the user's machine to their home directory
on the Samba server. I'm assuming this is what you mean when you say
Samba will go directly to the users' home directories. Hope it helps.

Here is my setup:

logon home = \\%N\%U

[homes]
  comment = %U's Home Directory
  valid users = %S
  read only = Yes
  browseable = no
  ## path = %H
  create mask = 0600
  directory mask = 0700
  guest ok = no
  printable = no

                         Regards,
