I have a CentOS6.3 SAMBA file server. All the users are on a Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Domain Controller and authentication is done using Winbind integration on SAMBA .
Everything works well except that if someone logs on to the Samba Server, they see all the shared folders there and also a folder with their own name %USER%. This Folder is not accessible, one cannot enter into this folder, I have noticed that it's not being automatically created in the home folder :
i.e /home/%USER%/ is not there.
My smb.conf is as follows
workgroup = Domain0
security = ads
realm = Domain.com
encrypt passwords = yes
preferred master = no
template shell = /bin/bash
template homedir = /home/%D/%U
winbind separator = $
; template primary group = "Domain Users"
winbind uid = 600-20000
winbind gid = 600-20000
winbind use default domain = yes
winbind nested groups = yes
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
enhanced browsing = yes
winbind offline logon = false
password server = dc.domain.com
[homes]
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
browseable = no
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %U
writable = yes
anyone who can help me on this?

There are two things you can do,
1. for homes share, add "path = /path/to/home/%S" 2. for homes share, change mask from 0775 to 0700
This may help but may not the way you are looking for.

That's correct. Samba does not automatically create home directories.
One solution for this was posted on the samba list years ago: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-June/106958.html
