samba - Jan 2012 - Is that possible to create profiles shares into group structure?

Hi.

I'm using Samba + OpenLDAP.

Samba version 3.4.9.

Everything is working fine.

But I would like to put the roaming user profiles in a directory structure
considering the group of the users.

For example, for now I have:

/home/company/profiles/user1
/home/company/profiles/user2
/home/company/profiles/user3

And I would like to use:

/home/company/profiles/financial/user1
/home/company/profiles/financial/user2
/home/company/profiles/students/user3
/home/company/profiles/visitors/user4

I've tried some changes using the %g variable in the "[profiles]"
share,
but nothing seems to do what I'm expecting.

I've tried too using %g in the "logon path" but again nothing
happened.

I thought the following line would do the trick, but... no:

logon path = \\%L\profiles\%g\%U


Could you give me any clue about how to do that?

Thanks!

Hmm...
So you only have for every user exactly one group?
Ex: freddy is only member of group financial?!
In a live environment this could not work.
If you are working with openldap you can define in your openldap-config the
"profile Path"(sambaProfilePath).
Leave it empty in you smb.conf samba would search for it in your
openldap-config.
But you need to define it for every user.
With ex:LDAP Admin you are able to do it in a gui.

Good Luck
Daniel

try this:
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%G\%U

it works since years, we use

logon path = \\%L\profiles\%G\%U\%a

so we get a windows version specific profile. We need this because we 
have w2k and wxp workstations. 

I don't remember if we had precreated the profiles group directories :-(
