YES... I have checked all directory ownership/permissions a zillion times. I have only tried those two different settings for 'logon path' on my XP laptop. I THINK the "problem" has something todo with the fact? that XP will shorten the 'logon path' from \\%L\%U\.msprofile to just \\%L\%U, and then, that will match the home directory field in /etc/passwd. So, it (Samba) changes or passes info to XP that causes the three DOS variables to be set differently. And, the properties on the "Command Prompt" link in XP has '%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%' in the "Start in" properties field. So, that is why the different results. These variables are set when 'logon path' = \\%L\%U\.msprofile HOMEDRIVE=H: HOMEPATH=\ HOMESHARE=\\mutt\flinchlock These variables are set when 'logon path' = \\%L\profiles\%U\%m HOMEDRIVE=C: HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\flinchlock -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
