It has been a few months since I worked out all the settings to
authenticate against samba's AD, but I think you can solve your problem
by putting a home argument in your userdb{} stanza.  If that doesn't
work, and assuming you are authenticating using ldap lookups, let me
know and I can share more of how I set things up...
