All,
I currently have a problem where the default user profile is not being picked up
- Windows simply ingores it and creates one based on local settings.
I understand samba supports default user profiles, and one can be put into the
profiles share like this:
/export/profiles/Default User/
This directory contains a copy of a working profile from a proper user.
The relevant smb.conf sections are:
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U
[profiles]
browsable = no
public = yes
path = /export/profiles
writeable = yes
csc policy = disable
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris.
You need to put the Default User directory in the netlogin share. Make sure it
is readable by everyone
Cheers

Thomas, Thanks for that link. I will extract what is useful and add it to the new HOWTO. - John T.

This is just a windows NT server standard. I'm not sure where I found this out, when you have been using Samba for aslong as I hvae you forget where you found things out. It might have been though a white paper from microsoft, however it was probably though this mailing list (or samba-ntdom) or common knowledge. Forgive me if this sounds rude, but if you're writing doc's for this shouldn't you be aware of features like this?? Its on page 13 of this M$ white paper, I got this a few years ago from M$ website. Hope it helps. If you need a hand with updating the docs give me a shout, I dont mind helping.
