| First question: When "Home Directory" is not set in tdbsam
| does samba  just use the setting of "logon home" in smb.conf?
| And when it's set does  it ignore the smb.conf setting?

You actually can't exlude these settings from the
tdbsam records IIRC.  I'd have to go back and look again
to be sure.  So the home directory path in the tdb record
would always take precedence over the smb.conf settings.
But like I say, I would have to double check this in the code.

I would be really glad if you could check this. If what you say is true than the example "Big 500 Users Example" makes just no sense to me. The example only uses a tdbsam backend and then the setting for logon home and logon path could just be removed because it's the tdbsam which counts. And when we cannot use variables in tdbsam I begin to wonder what the advantages of a tdbsam backend against a smbpasswd file should be. Is this somewhere documented which backend supports variables and which backend supports the settings in smb.conf and since which version of samba? Thanks, Jerry.

Marc
