Profiles - Double checking

Are you then using something like "logon path = \\%N\ntprofile" in the
general section?  Sorry if that is an obvious question, but we've had so
much trouble with NISGina this semester that when I make a switch I want
to make sure I'm doing it right.

BTW, I'm trying to compile a lot of the files in the docs directory and
expand all of that into a "User's Manual" of sorts for Samba 2.0.  If
people have some example smb.conf's that are working for them, I'd love
to be able to include them as examples of different ways of doing
things.  I'll send the document to the list for review, and then to the
samba crew for possible inclusion in a few weeks.   

Thanks
