[Samba] sambaProfilePath and sambaHomePath when adding a BDC
I have a Samba3+LDAP PDC running. I set it up long time ago following de IDEALX howto and using smbldap-tools. The domain is called PRINCIPAL and the PDC netbios name is SMBSERV. In my LDAP tree, users have (among others) attributes like these: dn: uid=bachillerato01,ou=Users,dc=guaydil,dc=prv cn: Usuario prueba para bachillerato ... sambaProfilePath: \\SMBSERV\profiles\bachillerato01 sambaHomePath: \\SMBSERV\bachillerato01 Now I have a new network segment and I want to set up a BDC being also a slave LDAP server. I want workstations in the new network segment to take profiles, homes and everything directly from the BDC. So three questions: 1.- I need to change the sambaProfilePath and sambaHomePath for every user in the LDAP tree, isn't it? 2.- Would it work if I replace the above attributes with something like sambaProfilePath: \\%LOGONSERVER%\profiles\bachillerato01 sambaHomePath: \\%LOGONSERVER%\bachillerato01 ? Can smbldap-tools manage it? 3.- Would it be better to set all this attributes to null and use "logon home" and "logon path" in smb.conf? Thanks in advance and please forgive my poor English writing.
