Nick, This is not a subject that fits the samba-technical horizon. Please keep this discussion on the samba list. Samba3 is like NT4. Any policy that can be implemented under NT4 will work nicely with Samba3 domains. The methods that can be used to control Windows client user and group restrictions (policies) includes the following: a) Use of the NTConfig.pol file (stored in the root of the Netlogon share) b) Use of Roaming Profiles (stored in the Profiles share) c) Use of Mandatory Roaming Profiles (stored in the Profiles share) d) Use of Network Default User Profiles (stored in the root of the Netlogon share) e) Use of Samba's smarts to limit how each of these may be reached. In this case your share path for the profiles share, or for the NetLogon share can make use of: path = /home/profiles/%g or path = /home/profiles/%a or path = /home/netlogon/%g Please update yourself on the Microsoft KB articles regarding Mandatory v's User, v's Group profiles settings. Each profile (NTUser.DAT file) contains a copy of the HKCU (current user) profile tree. Anything that can be edited in that registry tree can be handled through one of the above mechanisms. None of the above (other than the path switching logic) involves Samba. All use nothing other than NT4 profile handling configuration and controls. I hope this helps. - John T. -- John H Terpstra "If at first you don't succeed, don't go sky-diving!" -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Re: [Samba] Mailing list HOWTO (Unofficial)
Jon, Thank you so much for this VERY timely reminder of good netiquette. Well done. Please everyone, remember that it takes a lot of time to answer questions. Over the past 3 months I have spent an average of 6 hours per day answering requests from this list. I just checked my sent-mail folder and am surprised to see 387 responses to people who asked for help from this list. If you work this out, it equates to an average of 10-15 minutes per reply. Now that time DOES include research and finding a solution. What the above shows is that when you make a request you are asking someone to invest their time in helping to solve your problem. Each of us who respond have other competing interests and responsibilities. The quality of your request influences how much attention you will receive. - John T.

Google. We explicitly allow google to search samba.org, for exactly this reason. You can restrict your search to just the arcives with the standard interface, but samba stuff comes up pretty thick and fast anyway and includes other sites that have howto and doco. (Like the couple of sites on Samba-LDAP that are out there).
