samba - Dec 2002 - SuSE 8.1/Samba 2.2.7 - files disappear in home subdirs

Hi Everybody,

first the setup:

        logon path = \\pmn90\%U\profile
        logon drive = U:
        logon home = \\pmn90\%U
[homes]
        valid users = %S
        read only = No
        inherit permissions = No
        security mask = 0777
        directory security mask = 0777
        browseable = No

This setup mounts "/home/user-xy" under letter "U:". People
usually
make subdirs, e.g. "data", in it and store files they need wherever
they roam.

After logoff new files are still there under the subdirs. When they
login again the subdirs are suddenly empty.

Any clue, why that happens?

Cheers,
Dragan

Thanks Bob,

I guess it did it. T'was easy, wasn't it?

But, why? "%S" is usually in all examples for homes share. I hate to
be a bother, but if you could just drop a line, why should a file
be deleted when a user logs in again and valid user is "%S" instead
of "%U". Were there other victims?

Best regards
Dragan
