[Samba] Is the term 'home dir' and 'roaming profiles' different?
Hello, I've just been exploring Samba again after some time, and this time I'm setting a Samba PDC with LDAP. Thanks for great tutorial from Samba website, I think I got it working fine :) However, I've been browsing the list too, and am a bit confused with the term: 'homedir' and 'roaming profiles'. Is it different? If I'm not mistaken, homedir is for Win9X only? When my XP client logon to the Samba PDC, it automatically "mount" drive X: and then when he logoffs, his Xp profile will be copied to /var/lib/samba/profiles/username However, the /var/lib/samba/profiles/username directory is not created automatically, I have to create it by hand. Now, in the list archive a lot of people were asking how to make the creation of homedir to be automatic, do their questions and solutions apply to the creation of 'roaming profile dir' too? Thank you very much. PS.
