you could use the "veto files =" option in [global] set a list of files/folders to be invisible to the users like this: veto files = /*.vbs/*.eml/Desktop/Cookies/ ...and on and on and on... It's a quick and easy fix. Otherwise you'll have to use logon home = \\%N\%U logon path = \\%N\%U options to specify another directory altogether to store profiles. Regards, Alan B.

I get around this as follows: I have 2 directorys: /home/username = username's share (NS and stuff is written here) share as username this isn't browsable /home/username/dosroot = username's FILES go here share as XYZ (I say user/files) I dont have a lot of users!)>--- Original Message --- >From: "Ariel Mella" <ariel@jusbaires.gov.ar> >To: <samba@lists.samba.org>, <samba-ntdom@lists.samba.org> >Date: 11/1/01 1:20:45 PM >>I have a samba PDC. >all its working ok. >i have one share per user and maps its to the users with the"net use p:>/home" in the logon script. >the problem is that im using this script to add a drive in "MyComputer" and>the users copy important data to this drive and later ill backup directly>in the server... >using the policies i activate roaming profiles and now all the"Aplication>Data" is copying to the drive of the user.. thats ok, but iwant to know if>there is a way to choose another directory to store the dataof the profile>of the users and "hide" (browseable = no) this data to the user,because the>users only knows about microsoft office files and when theycome to its own>directory the see a lot of garbage (aplication data containignIE, Outlook>Express, etc.) > >thx > > >-- >To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and readthe>instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba >
