More info on the new problem

[Andrew Perrin - Demography]

The issue I posted this morning re: %U and %H not resolving correctly is
somewhat more nuanced than I thought.

1.) I changed smb.conf so the share is now defined as:
[ntprofile]
        guest ok = no
        read only = no
        browseable = yes
        wide links = yes
        printable = no
;       path = /home/davis/hdir1/%U/ntprofile
        path = %H/ntprofile
        locking = no
        Comment = Profile Directory (%U)
 
	... but it still doesn't work (same behavior).

2.) Here's an interesting log from a login session in which the domain
server validates the login using the correct name and password (ntadmin)
but then tries to connect to the wrong profile directory
(~aperrin/ntprofile) and fails.

3.) This behavior is relatively short-lived -- I tested it by logging off
the PC as one user, waiting approximately 3 minutes, and logging back in
as a different user -- the problem goes away and the login works fine.
Seems like somebody's holding some information just a tad too long?
