[Samba] Macro expansion in LDAP entries like %L no longer works with 3.0.23d
I just want to note this for other users having problems with roaming profiles after upgrading their samba. As far as I can see this change is not described somewhere else. I updated a samba PDC from 3.0.21b to 3.0.23d and had problems logging in an Windows XP using roaming profiles complaining just about not finding a network-path. Profiles could not be loaded. It took me 1 day to figure out that ldap entries like sambaProfilePath: \\%L\Profiles sambaHomePath: \\%L\home do not longer work like they did with samba 3.0.21b. Now you have to hard-code the path like sambaProfilePath: \\Servername\Profiles sambaHomePath: \\Servername\home for all users in ldap. Hope this helps someone having the same problem. Best regards, Oli
