thanks for the suggestion. i went and used the logon home and stuff na lang since it didn't seem like logon path (and [Profiles]) was doing any good. it could probably be made to work, but i'll do that when i find the time. for now, it works. and the mcafee problem *was* due to its not being able to save the roving profiles to the network drive. it works fine now. > > what files do you see in the .profiles? just so i have an idea what i > > should be looking for there :). > > Directories like 'Application Data', 'Cookies', 'Desktop', 'History', > 'NetHood', and 'Recent', as well as files like 'USER.DAT'.

Now i've got logon home = \\%L\%U\Samba. that way, all the directories you mention get stored in ~/Samba. previously i had it set to the default logon home = \\%L\%U. that was bad since all those directories went in my home directory. and the icons in the windows desktop went on the KDE desktop, since KDE on Mandrake uses the ~/Desktop directory :). tiger PS. carla, thanks for the very helpful quick-how-to on samba as a PDC. now i need to read (and understand) your thing on FreeS/Wan. http://networking.earthweb.com/netos/article/0,,12083_1011451,00.html now might be the time to make things complicated by setting up UML and testing FreeS/Wan on the same box with two or more UML instances :). or something. -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo tiger*quimpo*org gquimpo*sni*ph tiger*sni*ph The more you complain, the longer God lets you live. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
