Basically this is for setting the path for the Homes share and what to use in the script to create the Homes share folder. Right now I am using %S (per suggestion) but that is also creating shares and folders for computer accounts. I don't want computer accounts to create shares so I thought I would use %u or %U instead. >From what Jerry says then, I should use %u, but I'm still a little curious as to what %U would be used for then. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
