migration win95 -> win98

[Andreas K. Huettel]

Hi Rimantas, 

well this answers part of my question - mixing win98 and win95
profiles makes a mess.

Setting different logon paths would easily be possible if the
parameter %a (see man smb.conf) would recognize win95 and win98 as
different architectures. I cannot test this yet, but the docs give no
hint that samba recognizes the difference.

i.e.
logon path = \\%N\%a\pro\%U
gives \\servername\Win95\pro\username with win95 clients - win98?

If %a does not differentiate between win95 and win98, i´ll try with
the hostname parameter (possible since we have (up to now) only one
win98 box).


regards,
Andreas

hi, 

in general i would like to extend the question (or maybe ask it in 
another corner) - can we use profiles in mixed systems? can we have on
a 
network w95 and w98? 

I have tried it with no success, as in my configuration, it seems w98 
overwrites profile of w95, not recognizing it, and pretending it is
the 
first logon of the user. the same is with w98. 

if this must be that way, is here any way to set different logon paths 
for different OS'es?
