This baffled me for a while too. I eventually found a comment to a blog article that answered the question. You have to add
obey pam restrictions = yes to smb.conf Also, I wouldn't leave /home/MYDOM with 777 perms.

Hello all, I have a functional samba/windind file server (SLES 10) thats a member server of an Active Directory domain. I'm able to successfully resolve user and group accounts from AD. The problem I'm having is samba isn't creating home directories automatically when I try to map to a AD user share from Win XP. What I am able to do is, when I ssh into the machine with an AD user, it creates the the home directory. I can't figure out why because my pam.d configs are configured for this to happen. But obviously I'm missing something. One thing I did try as a result from googling is changing the /home/MYDOM directory to 777, but no cigar. Here's my pam.d configs and smb.conf below. Thanks in advance. /etc/pam.d/samba: auth include common-auth account include common-account password include common-password session include common-session /etc/pam.d/sshd auth include common-auth auth required pam_nologin.so account include common-account password include common-password session include common-session /etc/pam.d/common-session session required pam_mkhomedir.so session required pam_limits.so session required pam_unix2.so ======================================= /etc/samba/smb.conf: [global] workgroup = MYDOM printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw logon drive = H: idmap gid = 10000-20000 idmap uid = 10000-20000 realm = MYDOM.ORG security = ADS template homedir = /home/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash winbind refresh tickets = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes winbind use default domain = yes -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
