 Hi, im from argentina. Im working for a local University who has many
 lab`s. One of them has 30 machines with dual boot, nt workstation and
 Linux Mandrake 9.0, and a PDC nt server 4.0.
 I`d installed samba on my Mandrake`s, and work just fine, but when i
 try to create a local home directory for the users, a message pop`s,
 and says cant ceate home directory /home/user_name.
 Permissions on that directory are fine...
 I configured smb.conf just like all books and Samba book seed, and
 nothing happens.
 The rest of the config seems to be fine, because the user can logging
 to the PDC.
 Is anyway i can solve my problem??.
 Or any documentation
 can you help me??
 Tanks a lot for all...!!

Without details of your configuration (smb.conf, pam configuration etc),
it's difficult to know where the problem would come from, but:

Mandrake 9.0 has support for authenticating against a windows domain,
using Winbind, which you can setup during installation.

See:

http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba/Integrating%20Linux%20into%20Windows%20Networks.tar.gz
http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba/Integrating%20Linux%20into%20Windows%20Networks-handouts.pdf

If you follow the steps there, on first boot you should be able to login
with a domain account, and your user's home directory will be created on
the first login attempt.

Regards,
Buchan
