[Samba] login script variable problem

[Gémes Géza]

The %U and %u variables are samba's not windows, but to generate desired 
effect, you could use

net use driveletter: /home

in your login.bat

and

logon home = \\%L\%U\.profile
logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U

in your global section of smb.conf

Good Luck!
