Ahh I see, no need to declare each group share explicately, as long as users are placed in the appropriate groups then they'll get the right share mapped. >"profile home = \home\samba\profile" and I logon using an XP >I can't say i've ever seen this parameter!!! >You want this in your global section: >logon path = \\sambahost\Profiles >create a share called Profiles >[Profiles] >comment = profile share >path = /home/profiles/%u Sorry, I was typing the email from memory and didn't get the profile parameter for XP machines right, but It looks as though you understood what I meant. As all users are now using just local profiles in a workgroup setup I wonder at the need for roaming profiles, if I just blank out the right hand side of the "logon path" parameter then doesn't that disable roaming profiles without the need to do a regedit on each workstation?

You want this in your global section: logon path = \\sambahost\Profiles create a share called Profiles [Profiles] comment = profile share path = /home/profiles/%u you'll need to create the /home/profile directory and the user directories under it. Make sure they have the correct permissions for each user. > Thanks so much, > Mike Partyka The majority of this is covered in the samba HOWTO collection.
