Samba, Winbind, and 2003 AD

["Ray Holtz" <rayholtz@hotmail.com>]

Ok here's the setup:

Windows 2003 Active Directory
Mandrake 10 running Samba 3 with winbind
Clients: Win 95/98/me/nt4/2000/xp  (don't laugh, it is a public high school, 
therefor funding for new machines and updated operating systems is slim to 
none.  They just denied funds to purchase a new classroom of computers.)  
I'll worry about getting the win 9x working later, but what I write below 
happens with winXP and 2000.

When we setup a home directory in a user's AD properties 2 things happen.   
1: a popup comes up from the AD saying that the user doesn't have rights to 
create '\\sambaserver\%username%' (which would be '/home/%username%' on the 
linux box).  2:  On the client a user can type '\\sambaserver' into windows 
explorer and see a public share, and a %username% share.  They can enter the 
public share,  but when they try to open their personal share, it says 
'Incorrect password or unknown username for \\sambaserver\%username%'.

I have a good feeling that username and password are not being passed 
correctly between the AD domain controller and the sambaserver.  However I 
cannot find out how to fix it.  Anyone have any ideas?

I was not the originator of this project.  The intern before me set this up 
and couldn't get it completely working, and when I started my internship I 
was assigned the project. I would really appreciate any help anyone can send 
my way.  Let me know any questions you have about this.

Thanks,
Ray Holtz
