>>logon home = i.e.: Leave the value blank.<< Then my Win98 users won't have roaming profiles, correct? My O'Reilly book defines logon home as setting the directory for all Windows Platforms, and to achieve roaming for 95/98/Me add the /.win_profile. Let me guess. I can't have my cake and eat it too..? There must be some crafty way around this. Can the smb.conf file determine platform and then branch?
