this is how i do it...
after installing netscape on an nt workstation, set these registry keys:
\Registry\Machine\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Users
CurrentUser = Default
Default
DirRoot = h:\.netscape
UserName EmailAddr
then add something like this to your nt workstation logon script:
rem copy netscape preferences file if it doesn't exist.
if not exist H:\.netscape md H:\.netscape
if not exist H:\.netscape\prefs.js xcopy /f /v
s:\netscape\users\default\prefs.js H:\.netscape\
this will create a default h:\.netscape profile directory at user logon if
it does not yet exist. you could also do a little more work to, for
example, merge global changes to the netscape preferences into each user's
h:\.netscape\prefs.js.
h: is mapped to the user's unix/nt shared home directory on a samba
server. h:\.netscape is then shared by netscape in both unix and nt
environments. as far as i know, this is working fine as of netscape 4.7
(at least no one has complained to me about problems with their netscape
preferences when moving between the two platforms).
