Hi all I have samba 3 . i have configured as PDC, by default the home drive of the user gets mapped in the winodws clients when they login with the username of the server. I don't want the home drive to get mapped. if i remove the home share. The windows clients the user is unable to create a profile, ie local profile not roaming profile. i have not configured the samba to create any profiles, just user should able to login but i don't want to map the home directory.. my smb.conf file is ################################################################################### # Global parameters [global] workgroup = mydomain.com <http://mydomain.com> server string = Internet Server interfaces = eth0, lo bind interfaces only = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* username map = /etc/samba/smbusers unix password sync = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m '%u' delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r '%u' add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd '%g' delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel '%g' add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G '%g' '%u' add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /sbin/nologin -d /dev/null '%m'$ domain logons = Yes os level = 65 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m '%u' delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r '%u' add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd '%g' delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel '%g' add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G '%g' '%u' add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /sbin/nologin -d /dev/null '%m'$ domain logons = Yes os level = 65 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes hosts allow = 192.168.127., 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /public write list = @sambaclients browseable = No ################################################################################### Regards Niranjan
