Hi
It's working here with Version 4.0.0rc3-GIT-56ffe75

All we do to set up the roaming profile on Linux is to add the attribute:
profilePath: \\server\profiles\steve2
to the user DN entry in LDAP.

and whilst we're there we also map his windows home directory to his
Linux
home directory:
homeDrive: Z:
homeDirectory: \\server\home\steve2

Make sure that the profiles share is writeable by the users. We chmod
1777'd
it.

HTH
Steve
I've never looked at this and don't need it now, but I'm interested.
How is this implemented on client?
[...] Linux clients map whatever the [home]
share points at to the unixHomeDirectory attribute. The latter can use
either winbind or nslcd to pull the info from ldap.
Let me know if you need any more detail.
That doesn't sound like a roaming profile at all.  As far as I
understand it a roaming profile is copied to the client on login and
copied/synced back to the server on logout.  I think that's what Mario
and Denis are talking about.

Is that possible on Linux clients?  If so, how is it implemented?
With csync as Denis asked?

Hi, What you can do is use pam-mount to mount the users home directory from the server onto the Linux client, This is actually faster than roaming profiles as no data actually moves.
