I realized in looking at my smb.conf, I'm not using these in
a consistent manner, and .... well I just don't understand what the
differences are between them.
Sure I can read the smb.conf page:
%U
session username (the username that the client wanted, not
necessarily the same as the one they got).
vs.
%u
username of the current service, if any.
---
So if I use %U, what name might I get 'instead'?
For example, MS, seems to save my profile under 'user.V2'...even
though my smb config has:
logon path = \\%D\%U\profile
logon home = \\%D\%U
logon drive = i:
But my 'home' is always set to /home/Domain/User,
but my profile (under W7), is stored under /home/Domain/User.V2...
So when my home dir is mounted, I don't see the 'appdir' of *my*
profile, but the appdir of an XP login (which has caused more than
a little bit of confusion over the years)....
Now, I 'hack' around this by mounting 'i:' manually,
and setting it to '/home/Domain/User.V2'....(which still feels
like a 'hack', but at least my homedir contains my profile and
not my XP profile!
So how are %u and %U supposed to be different? Should one evaluate
to 'User.V2'?
Thanks for any 'enlightenment!'
