samba - Jul 2006 - %a substitution broken ????

Hi there,

I have a strange problem with my profiles. They aren't saved in 
/profiles/WinXP but in /profiles/%a instead....

I have a "sambaProfilePath: \\stperay\profiles\%a\dgenthia" in my ldap
and it always ran with samba 3.0.20.
I also have "logon path = \\stperay\profiles\%a\%U" in my smb.conf....
as in the old smb.conf.

Is the %a feature broken ?

Thanks ;-)

Nope.  This is currently by design due to conflicts with
client side environment variables.  Variables are not
longer expanded from passdb attributes.  They are fo
course expanded from smb.conf. Remove the sambaProfilePath
attribbure from the user's entry.
