I have my cake and I'm eating it too! I commented out the "logon home =" line completely and put in "include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%a". For the Win95 platform I have logon home = \\%L\%u\.win_profile\%m and for the Win2K (includes XP) I have logon home = \\%L\%u
Yippee! As for the Z: drive... I just didn't realize that logon drive = was a necessity for XP. Chapter 6 of Using Samba was very helpful. -Moondance -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of flinchlock Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 4:37 AM To: samba list Subject: Re: [Samba] Persistant Z drive in XP > Then my Win98 users won't have roaming profiles, correct?

YUP... http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch04.html This is a link to... "Using Samba, 2nd Edition By Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown 2nd Edition, February 2003 O'Reilly & Associates, ISBN: 0-596-00256-4" Search for "Configuring Samba for Roaming Profiles". This topic talks about how to setup PLATFORM directories, and then have a soft link from machine name to the PLATFORM directory. It handles W95-XP!
