in the users' UNIX home directory, and within that are directories that contain all of the desktop customizations. Under Win2k, when a person logs in on that computer, there is only an empty "profile" directory created in their UNIX home directory! There must just be some small thing I am overlooking, and I couldn't find it in the documentation. Here is the smb.conf file that I am using: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from bob (128.117.16.39) # Date: 2001/11/01 10:38:02 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = SAMBA2 netbios name = BOB server string = Samba2.2.1_bob encrypt passwords = Yes username map = /opt/local/samba/lib/users.map log level = 8 log file = /opt/local/samba/logs/%m.log logon script = logon.bat domain logons = Yes os level = 64 preferred master = True domain master = True admin users = root printer admin = root hosts allow = 128.117.16.0/255.255.255.0 128.117.104.0/255.255.255.0 [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [bobd] comment = bob:/local/d path = /bob/d read only = No create mask = 0644 [netlogon] path = /opt/local/samba/lib/netlogon write list = root [profiles] path = /tmp read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 Thanks very much for any advice!
