The latest Orielly book Using SAMBA 2nd edition says that after you have created a homes share that adding this line to your logon.bat file the user's home directory will be mapped and it will be called their user name.

This looks more like a client side error. Are they win9x clients by any chance? I don't think win9x clients support the "/home" option. Do a net use /? |more to check.

[Samba] Re: net use H: /home does not work
I've got Samba installed on AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris servers. I have
"Homes" configured on each of them and when we map drives from
Windows, we
map the user's home directory directly:
net use H: \\{server}\tom
and "tom" is my Unix login id and the name of my home directory on
that
box.
Are your Windows IDs different from the defined Unix account names?
Peace....
Tom

That was already set correctly. It still does not work.

[Samba] Re: net use H: /home does not work
Does the Samba box need to be configured as a PDC to make this work?
The command:
net use H: /home
doesn't identify to which server you will connect for the H: drive
resource. When I connect to network drives on other Windows servers, I
also put the server name in the net use command:
net use X: \\server\share

I don't have a home defined for each user. Samba allows you to create a
HOMES share that is generic for all users on the system and supposedly
if you have in your logon script 'net use H: /home' and you have the
global parameter 'logon drive = H' it's all supposed work magically
and
each user will see their home directory mapped using their logon id.

Hi,
Make sure you have
logon drive = p:
logon home = \\%L\%U
in your smb.conf file in the global section (you may need to HUP smbd)
from your win2k box you should be able to do net use h: /home
If this doesnt work then run the command net user yourusername /domain
This command will tell you where windows thinks the home directory is. (this
should be \\server\username)
Cheers
Kristyan Osborne

Jer,
It looks like you have a seperate logon script for each user. Samba is
supposed to work with one generic logon script for all users when the
homes share is setup and 'logon drive=H' and 'net use H:
/home'.
