[Samba] Disabling Roaming Profile Support

[Jeff Dickens]

I have "logon drive =" in smb.conf but testparm does not report that.

Does it on your system, Marcio?

ex:

root at grackle:~# grep logon /etc/samba/smb.conf
   domain logons = yes
   logon drive =
   logon home =
   logon path =
[netlogon]
   path = /home/samba/netlogon
root at grackle:~#
root at grackle:~# testparm | grep logon
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
...snip...
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC

        logon path =
        logon home =
        domain logons = Yes
[netlogon]
        path = /home/samba/netlogon
root at grackle:~#
