Yes, I mapped the home directories through their user
profile as described. The mapping are correct. When the
user logs in U: points to their home directory. The
problem I'm having is that eventhough the ACL appears to
give them Full Control of their home directory, they
cannot create files unless I give them Full Control of
the "users" share.
