[THIN] OT: creating a home directory on SMB share

Under Win NT 4, when specifying a users home directory I would always type
in \\servername\homes\%username% (where servername is a smb share).  NT 4
would complain that it couldn't create the directory, I would have to create
it manually, and then let me continue. But under 2000, doing the same thing
gives the error "Unable to create the home directory, the specified network
password is incorrect" and doesn't let me proceed. So right now, my users
are mapping their home drive manually (not ideal).  Anyone have any
thoughts? Oddly enough, it gives me the same error specifying the home
directory from the Terminal Services tab, but lets me continue so my citrix
users are unaffected.

Thanks,
