I have a stable configuration of a Samba 2.0.5a server on Redhat 6.0 and Win 95 and Win98 clients that has been running for over a year. Samba provides several file shares which are mapped to specific drives by user logon scripts. Being pedantic among other things I map a shared group share to G: and a user home share H:. When I attempt to implement roaming profiles as per "Using Samba - O'Reilly pp194-196" I end up with an overriding of my mapping of home to H: by what appears to be an automatic mapping of the profiles share to H: In searching through the immediate past archives of this digest I discovered the Bryan Feir submission of the 22 November 2000 and I have read the Samba DOMAINS.txt document but some of the story still appears to be untold here. All discussion appears to be on work arounds. Is either logon path or a profile share automatically mapped to H: by Samba and if this is a "feature" is there a way of turning it off?

Before 2.0.6 samba would pass to win9x the "logon path" parameter, since 2.0.6 "logon home" is used. Win9x cannot have both profiles outside of the homeshare and net use /home working at the same time. See 2.0.7 DOMAIN.txt and man smb.conf for details. -- giulioo@pobox.com
