Subject: [Samba] roaming profiles depending on user

[Martyn Ranyard]

You should also be able to specify it by OS, but :

    98 is recognized as 95 as are ME and XP Home I believe
    NT and 2K are fully recognizable, XP Pro probably registers as one of them

This may help, you use %a where David suggested %u.

I am not a member of the samba team,
and anything that I say may not be as
accurate as a response from one of the
team.  I reply to save those more
qualified time, which can more usefully
be spent developing SAMBA further.
