Alright, I can be a bit thick sometimes, but by RTFM or other documentation I've solved a problem.
ISSUE I had been having problems with profiles, I use using the following profile: <edited> [global] preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes security = user domain logons = yes logon path = \\%N\%u\profiles logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%U logon script = startup.bat [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon read only = yes write list = ntadmin [profiles] path = \\%N\%U\profile read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 Then, and after much frustration, I came across John, Terpstra's email: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg26709.html John clearly says "Samba share specs read UNIX paths - not Windows UNC names." (Thanks John) Ok that was the issue then - yet it seemed to work. QUESTION My question therefore is this - I have multiple /home/subdomain directories, like /home/disk1 /home/disk2 /home/backupdisk3b ... etc How do I store the profile in the users home dir. My rationale is that as all of my OSX users, and Unix/Linux users have to adhere to a quota - I'd rather force my windows users to adhere to the same quota by storing their profile in /home/disk?/user/profile and I could do that using \\%L\%U\profile. Now one solution is to apply the quote to say /var/lib/samba/profile/%U but I'd rather keep the profile in or off of the home dir anyway. resolving /home/disk?/user/profil using Unix path names is difficult because I have so many disks with home dirs. BTW I've tried: path = ~%U/profile hoping that ~user would resolve correctly. It didn't seem to work.
