This is a copy of the smb.conf files from one of our servers which uses the
netlogon and winlogon functions to achieve roaming profiles.
I have also included the setup for the /etc/skel directory which is used
when creating new users under Redhat Linux. This solves the
problem of a bunch of junk files showing up where the user can see/nuke
them and presents the user with a nice clean directory to
clutter up with his/her own junk.

This is a copy of the directory structure which saved under /etc/skel so
that when new users are created it
does not take 5 minutes for the new user to become connected and it also
sets up new users so that they all
have the default desktop settings. Basically there are 3 directories and
one link: Data, Desktop, windows, and
logon.bat. The Data directory is what the user sees as his/her home
directory. The "windows" directory is
where the users profile gets stored by win95/98 machines. and the Desktop
directory is used for X-windows
logins but users rarely login with an X client so that could be deleted if
you wanted. The Data and Windows
directories are referenced in the smb.conf file. The logon.bat is a link
to the default logon.bat file which is
stored in a common directory somewhere on the system. Using a link like
this in the skel directory ensures
that the new user gets a link to the common logon.bat file and the system
admin can always replace it with a
link to a different common logon.bat file or can create a unique logon.bat
file specifically for this user by
replacing the link with an actual file.
