Re: [Samba] User SID problem with home directory

[Wes Modes <wmodes@xxxxxxxx>]

You are correct that I should have had "wins support" set to no rather 
than yes.  Here's how the smb.conf man page describes that option:

   This boolean controls if the nmbd(8)
   <http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/nmbd.8.html> process
   in Samba will act as a WINS server. You should not set this to |yes|
   unless you have a multi-subnetted network and you wish a particular
   |nmbd| to be your WINS server. Note that you should /NEVER/ set this
   to |yes| on more than one machine in your network.


HOWEVER, setting it to No, did not fix this problem:

User joeblow with invalid SID
user 'joeblow' (form session setup) not permitted to access this share 
(home)
