Another observation: If I create a user account using USRMGR.EXE and I don't specify the roaming profile path, the user account gets no roaming profile despite the setting in smb.conf (logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a).
Is this a bug or a feature? B. Bernd Pörner wrote: > I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows > workstations.
