I don't think the word "newbie" applies, sorry guys. I've been using unix since about 1991 and Samba since the early 2.x releases. I believe I had a geniune problem, and is now solved.
My "logon path" setting was quoted, and thus broken. OK, the docs now say NOT to do this, but the quoted setting worked fine on the previous (FreeBSD) installation. Should I be expected to trawl through every documentation change related to every possible explanation of my problem? I think not. I asked on the list, got some example configs which were known to work, and compared them closely. Problem solved. Thank you.
What the docs do not say is that "logon path" seems to be used only in the creation of new profiles. Existing users have their profile path configured in the tdb database, and so thinks worked fine for them. Someone with a clearer understanding of the internals may wish to submit some documentation on how all this is meant to work.
