Hi list,
We are in the process of replacing our current Windows 2k file server with a
Debian Linux one running Samba.
I am running Samba 2.999+3.0.Alpha21 which is packaged for Debian in the
Unstable tree.
I believe I have configured everything correctly however when I login from a
Windows client it is creating the users profile under there home directory
rather than in the profile directory which is stored under their home
directory.
For example for user mjs the home directory is /home/users/mjs and the
profile directory should be /home/users/mjs/profile which already exists
with a profile in it. When I login from windows though it creates a new
profile under /home/users/mjs.
Having said this, when I created the user with pdbedit it told me that the
profile location would be \\NUKLEUZ\MJS\profile

Can anyone offer any suggestions on where I might be going wrong here?
Any help greatly appreciated.
