After some discussions on the samba list it seems that in an nt
environment win9x's cannot put the profiles outside the homeshare.

from samba-2.0.6 on "logon path" is completely ignored from win9x (samba
correctly doesn't give it to them).

You have these options:

- logon home = \\GATEWAY\%U\profile
--> profile in a subdir of the homedir, net use x: /home works.

- logon home = \\GATEWAY\profile\%U
--> profile outside of the homedir (as you were asking), net use x:
/home maps to the profile share.

Starting 2.0.6 win9x's receive just "logon home".
