Hi Steve,
Maybe I have misunderstood what you are trying to do but if you already
have automounter doing the right thing - maybe for the sake of argument
mapping
/home2/students/year7/year7a/student1
/home2/students/year7/year7a/student2
...
...
/home2/students/year13/year13a/student2500
to
/homes/student1
/homes/student2
...
...
/homes/student250
then you need only [homes] share in the smb.conf,
and then (similarly to Matthieu's suggestion) provide
\\servername\%username%
for homeDirectory attribute (and profilePath if you want roaming
profiles)?

Hi Lukasz
No, you have understood perfectly
Is you [homes] a winbind [homes]?
If so, we'd rather avoid having everyone in the same folder even if they
are only links to the real data. We'd like to separate students from
e.g. [staff] [admin] [webstuff] ... if only for readability purposes
e.g.
[students]
path = /home/students/data
read only = No
browsable = No
then
ln -s /home2/students/year7/year7a/student1 /home/students/data/student1
In AD that becomes:
unixHomeDirectory: /home2/students/year7/year7a/student1
homeDirectory: \\server\students\student1
homeDrive: Z:
How does that look?
Cheers and thanks for your time,
Steve
Hi
OK I made the link in /home/students/data
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jul 3 09:54 joseph ->
/home2/students/year7/7a/joseph
However, in xp browsing to Z: gives:
access is denied
Not even Administrator has access to it. If Administrator grants himself
rights and gives full control to joseph, both he and joseph still get
access denied.
However, joseph can access his home folder with the share like this
(without the link):
[students]
> path = /home/students
> read only = No
> browsable = No
Are we sure that the file server understands symlinks?
Cheers,
Steve
Hi Steve,
Check wide links smb.conf parameter
L
Hi Lukasz
Yes, I think that's what I need but it doesn't work with samba4:
samba-tool testparm -v
Unknown parameter encountered: "wide links"
Ignoring unknown parameter "wide links"
and
/usr/local/samba/sbin/samba_dnsupdate: Unknown parameter encountered:
"wide links"
/usr/local/samba/sbin/samba_dnsupdate: Ignoring unknown parameter "wide
links"
Without links, I think the only way to do it is with a separate share
for each class of students:
[year7a]
path = /home2/students/year7/year7a
read only = No
[year7b]
path = /home2/students/year7/year7b
read only = No
...
...
Maybe should open a new thread on wide links?
Cheers,
Steve
