OK. I don't have too much experience with [homes], but I guess there is a
parameter missing there.

sometihng like path=/momes/$user

I am not sure.

Had a similar problem before !

NT is slow. Allow it 2 minutes - minimun - to read the network again, or it
will try to use the cached network info it's saved.

If you have your user list on the FBSD machine, AND an NT on the network,
you will need to take special care, or the username/password won't work.

Take a closer look at the documentation; If you can't locate it, unpack the
samba package in one directory, and search for the .txt and html files
there. They solve almost any problem.

I hope it helped.
