Would you mind explaining what you're trying to do in a clearer manner.
What this sounds like you're trying to say is that:
you have home directories on linux machine 'auc'.
You want to access these home directories on a Windows NT machine
using authenticated user credentials.
You're running Samba (smbd/nmbd) on 'auc'.
Is this a correct rundown of what you're trying to achieve?
If so, then look at the [homes] section of smb.conf - homes is a
"special" homedirectory share.
