For this and other reasons, a single script should be called and should
encapsulate all the logic.

I think that may be a luxury that we do not have. I think a statement was
made earlier that for win9x, both the profile location and the home
directory are derived from the "logon home" parameter. If so, then we
would need a symlink called .profile in order to keep all profiles in the
one location.

That would depend, I think, on whether they are user installed or supplied
by RPMs. That should be open to discussion, I think, but I'd lean towards
the printer drivers being user installed.

Or perhaps /home/e-smith/files/win.Profiles. Any of these works for me.
