Subject: [Samba] roaming profiles depending on user

[David Mulcahy]

HI 
I think there is a way in samba but it depends on how many users you have and 
is it worth the hassle.  It is probably better to get the policy editor for 
windows and use that.

The way from a purely samba way is to create different smb.conf files and 
adjust the logon home and logon path for each user that needs roaming 
profiles.

eg smb.conf
	include = /path/to/smb.conf.%u

smb.conf.ben
	logon path =    (no roaming profile)

smb.conf.alan
	logon path = \\%L\%U\ntprofile

Adjust the above settings to suit your needs.

There may be a better way.  Somebody else may suggest an alternative.  Not 
sure what overheads this will have on the system.

profiles depending on user

A simple question about roaming profiles using samba 2.2.2 as a domain
controller in a network with mixed clients (Win9x/ME/NT4/2000/XP):

(1) Is it possible to enable the roaming profiles for some users while
disable it for others? How is it done?
(2) Is there a way to control that behaviour from samba?

Thanks,

Osc
