Hi all, I've been working on setting up samba for a small home network, 3 win98se machines, and RH9 with samba 2.2.7 Roving profiles are working, with domain logins, just fine. The problem I'm having is that although I _think_ I've set it up properly, the profile items get copied into the users home directory, not the the directory I've set up. I've gone through all the faqs and doc files I could find, but still can't seem to get it to work. Could someone point out the probably very obvious thing I've missed? Thanks, Jim Dearden (smb.conf file below) ---------------------------- [global] workgroup = mygroup server string = Samba Test Server %v on (%L) netbios name = Testbed hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1 ; printing = cups ; guest account = pcguest log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log log level = 2 max log size = 50 security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* pam password change = yes obey pam restrictions = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 local master = yes os level = 33 domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U dns proxy = no #================== Share Definitions =================== [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 ; map to guest = bad user [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/netlogon guest ok = yes writable = no share modes = no [Profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles browseable = no writeable = yes guest ok = yes [music] path = /home/music public = yes only guest = yes writable = yes printable = no [public] path = /home/public public = yes only guest = yes writable = yes printable = no [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes

I can't believe I missed that . . . I knew it must me somthing pretty obvious. <blush mode off> Thank you for the pointer, and also the very kind way you said RTFM :-) Thanks again, Jim Dearden
