Sounds good. I have looked at the [homes] share in samba but have not implemented it. I will do some research on that ans await the info from your smb.conf tomorrow.

Okay... makes perfect sense now! 1 - Create user accounts for all of your users on the linux stations 2 - Create a 'My Documents' directory on each account 3 - There is a smba share command that allows users to map directly to their own account. I think it is the [homes] share. There is a Craig Hunt Publishers book on Samba. This is one of the better ones out there. I am away from my home network, but I can send the link from my smb.conf file when I return home tomorrow. But I think the above will work. No scripts, just edits to your smb.conf file should do it. This is what I suspected you wanted to do. Thank you for verifying.
