samba - Oct 2005 - samba support for local profiles

Hi, I tried searching the list and could not find a straight answer.

Does samba support local profiles?
How does one enable/setup local profiles?
What version of samba has best support for local profiles?

We are having trouble with a novell->samba migration and would like to use
local profiles if possible. It would take alot of work off our hands to
migrate the profiles correctly.

Any suggestions are appreciated,

Milan Andric

Greeting Milan Andric,

  Yes Samba support local profile. For using local profile with Samba 3, 
be sure to not have set /SambaProfilePath /and /sambaHomePath/ in 
/global/ section/. /To not have trouble with Windows professional client 
2000/XP (I don't have try local profile with 9x clients), open /MMC /and 
add the snap-in /Group Policy/.

Browse in /Local Computer Policy/ / /Computer Configuration/ / 
Administrative Template / /System // /Login
and change //Only allow local user profiles/ value. For Windows 2000, 
you need SP3 and more install.

And run /secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy (W2K) or //gpupdate (XP)./
