[...] On the linux box, as root, create a dir like this: mkdir /home
If /home is a separate mount, the directory will already exist.
Now, as root, reread /etc/fstab, do it with mount -a
There is no such thing as rereading fstab. Hence mount -a is superfluous. Just mount /home;
Go into YaST. Create a new user, name him whatever, and see that his home-dir indeed now resides on the win-box.
- thanks to the list again for directing me !
A number of thoughts
a) user is root, password secret (locally hmm..). The first problem is NT/AD ids have a discrete ID scheme from that used in Linux, if root is translating into admin account you have an ordinary user logged as an admin to the windows server (and AD/NT)... somehow I do not think that is your intent :-) This can persist into other areas (like other users home directories)...
b) The ideal would be for someone to log in the their home directory with the appropriate user credentials, however these credentials should only become available after the user has authenticated to the linux machine. /etc/fstab gives global mounts, for user specific mounts you probably need something different.
..like pam_mount for example.
I would suggest you have a look at..
