I've managed to join an WinXP machine to our Samba-2.2.2 domain. I've setup
our Samba config so the profiles are stored centrally, rather than in home
dirs for NT and W2K. But when I logout of a domain user it splats files all
over the users top level home directory.
Here are the appropriate bits from our smb.conf file:
[global]
....
logon path = \\%N\profile\%U
logon drive = q:
[profile]
path = /home/samba/%a/profile
writeable = yes
So in NT it stores the profiles in /home/samba/WinNT/profile/<username> and in
W2K in /home/samba/Win2K/profile/<username>
I've create a directory /home/samba/WinXP/profile/ and made it work writable,
but nothing is ever stored in here.
