Hi all..
I'm using Samba 3.0.2a on Mandrake 10, serving +/- 50 win98 clients.
I'm using this options:
logon path = \\%N\%U\profile
logon home = \\%N\%U\profile
but the roaming profile seems do not working... at least the way that I
want. (maybe this is the right behavior).
What I want:
-> When an user logins on MACHINE1 the profile that is saved in
Linux begin download to MACHINE1
-> When this user logoff from MACHINE1 the profile must update on
linux server
-> If this user logins on MACHINE2 the profile (updated) must be
downloaded to MACHINE2
But is not happen like this. When the user logins for the first time on
MACHINE1 a local profile is created using the "All users" folder
(under
\windows\profiles)
I'm not sure if the option " logon home = \\%N\%U\profile " tells
Samba
to do what I want.
Somone can help me ?
Thank you in advance.

Thank youy again.
