[Samba] auto mount of home share
I have searched this list and googled for examples, but have not found the answer to this question: I would have thought that all the lines in the smb.conf was setting up an auto mount of the home share, and I did not have to put it in the logon.bat script. I have: [global] domain master = yes local master = yes domain logons = yes logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon drive = q: logon home = \\hda\%u [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = no writeable = yes browseable = yes create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 I would have thought that user john would have a share of q: of \\hda\john but this is not happening. I am seeing this share if I browse the server. Or do I HAVE to have an entry in the logon.bat of: net use q: \\hda\%u /persistent:no ? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

I have: The systems have to be domain members and the users must be domain users and logging on to the domain (not the local system). You may also need the [netlogon] share (although the logon script does not need to explicilty create map the home drive). Also your logon home looks possibly suspect, I have logon home = \\%N\%U (the default) on several servers (for years now) and they all work (for hundreds of users). Where are you getting your documentation? When in doubt don't fuck with the defaults (man smb.conf) unless you know what you're doing and have a very good reason. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

I added the system to the domain successfully and now I get the log onto domain option. I used a user I created on the server, is there something special to define a domain user? And yes I logged onto the domain, creating a domain user on the system (user.domain). You may also need the [netlogon] share (although the logon script does not need to explicilty create map the home drive). The logon.bat is executing. I am getting all the shares from the bat file. I see the netlogon share and can mount it and open the logon.bat file.

This is what the developers of the Amahi.org distro have set up. hda is the Netbios name of the server. Does the case (%u instead of %U) matter? There is a bit to changing this if needed; I have to edit the script that builds smb.conf. Well I just made the change and now it is working. Now to find out if it is %N (how can I find out its value?) or %U. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Now to find out if it is %N (how can I find out its value?) or %U. Testing shows it is the %u instead of %U that is the error. Seems to be case sensitive. \\hda or \\%N both work. So I will file a bug report to the Amahi developers.
