Howdy All,
I have read with interest the problems that some people have with profiles
and XP ( service pack 2 included ) in getting them to work.
I, however, have not had any such trauma's ( thank goodness) and the
smb.conf file listed below works a treat.
The problem I have is people using profiles over several vpn connections (
just to slow ).
So now I am in the situation of wanting to turn off profiles. Ha Ha I hear
people say, thats simple, just set logon home = and logon path = and
leave them blank and bingo no profiles. Absolutely correct.
There is however one small problem. When I do this I also lose the users
home directories.:(
I have read the appropriate section in the HOW-TO book and it says that
using [homes] section in the conf file with facilitate the use of
net use h: /home in the logon script. Alas no.
I have either stuffed something else up or samba is not playing the game
according to the book of words ( many thanks to John Terpstra and his
efforts). I fear its the former.
Basically I need to be able to run only local profiles ( yes I know there
are registry hacks to do this, but server level commands are so much
neater ) but still have the users run login scripts .
I have listed below my smb.conf file ( the one that works with profiles )
and also my very simple logon.bat file ( which also runs well ) for any
gurus out there who may be able to help.
If I set the logon home = and logon path = then the logon.bat file works
for all of the mappings except the home directory mapping.!!!
It has to be simple but I just cant see it.
Any and all help appreciated

ps testparm says everything is OK and there is an I cant find the path
error when the logon script is run for the home directories.
