Your configuration is essentially stating that the user's profile for the username 'jblow' would be in '/home/jblow/profiles/jblow' -> the profiles share automagically creates a folder with the users name, so making the profiles share inside %U/profiles, means that dir must exist and have write permission by the user FIRST, something like:
mkdir /home/jblow/profiles && chown jblow /home/jblow/profiles Should work for the user 'jblow', but I don't think this is quite what you were expecting? I think you were assuming you could store their profile in home/user/profile/<profile here>, which is not the case, windows will try to make the folder with their username, but will not make the parent directories (in this case home/user/profile/). - My two cents, hope it helps. -- Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Hopkins Sent: Friday, July 08, 2005 7:20 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Roaming profiles question I have Samba 3.014a running. If I use the standard profiles definition: [profiles] path = /opt/samba/profiles writeable = yes browseable = no create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 then everything works fine. But changing just the path to path = /home/%U/profiles breaks it completely. I can curious why this doesn't work. The user that is logging in owns their directory (%U) so why does windows complain?
