Hello all,
In getting ready to roll out samba 3, I came across some behavior that may or
may not be a bug. My clients are mixed win98 / winxp. Roaming is enabled as
we frequently have interns that do not have a dedicated computer. When an
intern logs into an xp machine and saves a file to their home drive (H:), and
then has to log into a 98 machine, everything is fine, the file is
accessable. The problem shows up when the intern goes back to an xp machine.
The file saved on H: is no longer accessable as their home drive mapping has
changed. The first time the intern logs on to the xp machine the home drive
is mapped to \\samba3\intern. When the intern logs into the 98 box the home
drive is mapped to \\samba3\intern. When the intern logs back into an xp box
the home drive gets mapped to \\samba3\intern\.profile. This is by no means
a show stopper for me as I can simply work around it by dropping the
'.profile' from the 'logon home' option, I was just wondering if this was
normal behavior?
Pertinent part of the smb.conf
