I met the same problem more than once and I found that I have to
remove the corresponding entries from the LDAP database
(sambaHomePath and sambaHomeDrive attributes). If these attributes
are set, the user does not connect to his home service. The homedir
needs to be only in smb.conf.
I must add that, according to documentation, the home directory LDAP
attributes need only to be set for a particular user if they differ from
the general setting. Quoting from The Official Samba 3.5 HOWTO:
«
11.4.4.8 LDAP Special Attributes for sambaSamAccounts
The sambaSamAccount ObjectClass is composed of the attributes shown in
next tables: Part A, and Part B.
The majority of these parameters are only used when Samba is acting as a
PDC of a domain (refer to Domain Control, for details
on how to configure Samba as a PDC). The following four attributes are
only stored with the sambaSamAccount entry if the values are non-default
values:
• sambaHomePath
• sambaLogonScript
• sambaProfilePath
• sambaHomeDrive
These attributes are only stored with the sambaSamAccount entry if the
values are non-default values. For example, assume
MORIA has now been configured as a PDC and that logon home = \\%L\%u was
defined in its smb.conf file. When a user
named ‘becky’ logs on to the domain, the logon home string is expanded
to \\MORIA\becky. If the smbHome attribute exists in
the entry ‘uid=becky,ou=People,dc=samba,dc=org’, this value is used.
However, if this attribute does not exist, then the value
of the logon home parameter is used in its place. Samba will only write
the attribute value to the directory entry if the value is
something other than the default (e.g., \\MOBY\becky).

I agree and this is my case. None of these parameters is present in my
user's LDAP entry. Yet, my user has to mount his homedir himself.
I finally found the solution : it appears that the logon home parameter
should be set to the following value :
logon home = \\%L\%U
instead of the one I was using :
logon home = \\%L\homes\%U
I don't really understand why. Anybody could explain ?
Thanks for your help.
