Not sure how to specify them on >different machines. You can put your netlogon and profiles anywhere. But can I stay only with this entries in smb.conf [global] ..... logon script = scripts\logon.bat logon home = \\OXHILL\%U logon path = \\OXHILL\%U\.profiles logon drive = H: and get rid of [profile] share at all on pdc or member. >The path you specify in your smb.conf above puts it in a hidden (.profile) >directory in a user's Unix home folder. However, they may not have one. it is created automatically by scripts. But I only need to configure samba to work correctly in this layout. >I keep mine in >/home/samba/netlogon and /home/samba/profiles/%U myself.
