Samba doesn't create user profiles on the fly

Hi there!

I've got Samba server running on CentOS box. Everything works fine when I use "path" parameter, but I think Samba should create /home dirs for clients automatically.
It should look like this:

Quote:

comment = Home Directory of '%u'
valid users = @"Domain Group"
browseable = no
writable = yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700

"smbclient -L //sambaserver" shows that homedir exists, but still it's not possible to mount it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Any suggestions?

That's the 4th forum I've posted my question on. However, noone could answer.

Here's the answer:

I've changed Samba [homes] section to look like this:

[homes]
comment = Home Directory
path = /home/%U
valid users = +"Domain Linux"
write list = +"Domain Linux"
browseable = no
read only = no

Everything works now.
