Right now I have 95/98/XP clients. I have a login script that maps home
directories for my 95/98 clients (the home one):

net use X: \\xserve1\share1
net use Z: \\xserve1\share2
net use h: /home

That UNC path isn't correct for the last one. It should be something
like:

net use H: \\xserve1\%username%

Literally with the %username%.

 The "net use H: /home" syntax was invented for Win9x because those machines
 could never belong fully to a domain. It does work on Win2K and WinXP.  All
 that it does is use the "Windows Home Directory" setting on the PDC.

 I think the problem Chris has is that he's not setting that and so gets
 a compiled-in default which is always the home on the PDC.
