samba - Feb 2005 - same profile for several users

Hi there,

I would like to have the same (mandatory) profile for a group of users. 
I tried by setting the same profile path using pdbedit and allowing 
everyone of them read/write access to the appropriate Linux files, 
including executable access to the appropriate directories of the profile.

However, it does not work. At least Windows always saves my NTUSER.DAT 
and some other files with exclusive read/write access for the current 
user, so others get a permission denied.

What would be an appropriate way of having the same (mandatory) profile 
for a group of users?

Thanks!
Florian

For a mandatory profile you should rename the NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN, 
then you can disable any write access for that group. This way it worked 
for me.

thanks, but the problem is that I still need one NTUSER.MAN file and a 
profile directory per user. I would like to serve a bunch of users out 
of one directory. :-)
