[Samba] sambaProfilePath and sambaHomePath when adding a BDC
I have a Samba3+LDAP PDC running. I set it up long time ago following de IDEALX howto and using smbldap-tools. The domain is called PRINCIPAL and the PDC netbios name is SMBSERV. In my LDAP tree, users have (among others) attributes like these: dn: uid=bachillerato01,ou=Users,dc=guaydil,dc=prv cn: Usuario prueba para bachillerato ... sambaProfilePath: \\SMBSERV\profiles\bachillerato01 sambaHomePath: \\SMBSERV\bachillerato01 Now I have a new network segment and I want to set up a BDC being also a slave LDAP server. I want workstations in the new network segment to take profiles, homes and everything directly from the BDC. So three questions: 1.- I need to change the sambaProfilePath and sambaHomePath for every user in the LDAP tree, isn't it? 2.- Would it work if I replace the above attributes with something like sambaProfilePath: \\%LOGONSERVER%\profiles\bachillerato01 sambaHomePath: \\%LOGONSERVER%\bachillerato01 ? Can smbldap-tools manage it? 3.- Would it be better to set all this attributes to null and use logon home and logon path in smb.conf? Thanks in advance and please forgive my poor English writing.

I thought we did, but that %U should be used in place of %u here. I know we used to to variable expansion here. cheers, jerry -- Hewlett-Packard- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team -- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc If we're adding to the noise, turn off this song --Switchfoot (2003) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://quantumlab.net/pine_privacy_guard/ iD8DBQE//FToIR7qMdg1EfYRAtv1AJ9eos5OUWgd660jUA2oLzBw/djozQCfXf3h ox4eC8S8AkwZAGGIhCpUYhw= =yiyq -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
