Hi, I have some issues to copy a folder which includes hidden desktop.ini to a samba share using Windows 8 Pro RTM.

Hi list, I intend to run an old pentium 133 as a linux-based fileserver on my home network (I have to use windows for my main machine and laptop!)

I have a PDC named GOMER with IP 10.8.3.37 and a BDC named BLDG1 with IP 10.8.3.231, both in the domain ADAMSTEST.

Recent list messages got me thinking... Is there a way to support both local and roaming profile with one server / domain? As I understand it, the "magic" line that tells Samba not to do roaming profiles is the smb.conf line: logon path = Which the line must exist, and must be set to null.
