We're trying to implement a mixed environment with both roaming and local
profiles. To differentiate between local and roaming profiles, we use the
documented
logon path
path for local accounts and
logon path = /some/path
for roaming accounts.
for the logon path to be different, we use include files, since many people
have indicated success using this setup. However, we have found that this
doesn't work in our configuration. We're trying to figure out if
we've missed
something, or if there are bugs with the include implementation.
our abbreviated smb.conf is as follows:
[global]
workgroup = DomainName
server string = ServerName
netbios name = servername
unix charset = UTF8
name resolve order = host
smb ports = 139
wins support = yes
domain logons = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
passdb backend = tdbsam:/path/to/passdb.tdb
username map = /path/to/smbusers
# default is local profile...
logon path login script = login.bat
# ... unless their config says otherwise
include /path/to/userconf/%U.conf
log level = 2
# netlogon share stuff
# ipc share stuff
[Profiles]
comment = User Profiles
path = /path/to/profile
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = /path/to/profile/data
our include files look like this:
logon path = //servername/Profiles/%U
>From our testing, we know that the user configs are parsed (parse errors
in the configs get logged), but the logon path is never applied.
We've also discovered that having a user config for both local and roaming
profiles, and striking the logon path = [blank] in smb.conf doesn't seem to
work either.
We're using samba 3.0.24.
Just wondering if anyone's had success with mixed environments, or if
we're
missing something with configuration.
Thanks!
