I think I understand the inconsistent behaviour, caused by the various
bits of inconsistent documentation. I have roaming profiles working
with e-smith-samba-1.1.0-29 on one test network, but unreliably on
another. Quite infuriating behaviour.
I believe Darrell is correct, and we should make the following changes:
- Reinstate the [Profiles] share
- logon home = \\%L\%U\._winprofile
- logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
- Change /home/e-smith/files/samba/profiles to be
drwxr-xr-x 3 admin shared 4096 Nov 30 16:31 profiles
- Create directories under /home/e-smith/files/samba/profiles/ for each
user, owned by that user
If we really want to share 9x and NT/2K/... profiles, we could symlink
~user/home/_.winprofile to /home/e-smith/files/samba/profiles/$user
However this means that the profiles are no longer protected from normal
users as "Show All Files" means you can follow the symlink.
Note: The old doco which referred to %N as _this_ server is wrong. %L
refers to _this_ server and %N refers to the local NIS server. I guess
Samba defaulted %N to %L in some versions.
