[Samba] Re: include statement in smb.conf

Sorry, I mistyped.  I meant:

include = /etc/samba/g%G.conf

As I see it, this should do what you want.

Hmmm, I've tried that and it worked!!  But, it is not what I'm looking to 
do.

Say I have a User in the Windows 2000 Active Directory with their primary
group set to Staff.  What I would like is to have samba include
smb.conf.staff as their configuration and that would contain things such 
as
different shares and special veto options and their Home directory would 
be
located in /home/staff/%username%.

Now, if I have a user with their primary group set to Student then I want 
it
to load smb.conf.student with a different set a shares and veto files and
such.  And their home directory would be located in
/home/students/%Year_Of_Gradutaion%/%username%.

Is there away that I will be able to do this??

The only way that I got it to work was to not use the %G.  And we just 
have
WAY too many users to specify a config file for each user.

Again, thank you.

Dave

I have been doing this successfully for years (w/ Samba 2.2.8a)

include = /etc/samba/u%U.conf

Of course, this is just the user(s) primary group we are talking about .

Yeah, I have tried it and it didn't work.  But as soon as I added the %m
variable or the name of the file it worked.  This solution will not work 
for
me seeing I need this based on groups..

Does anyone have a way that I could get this to work??  I REALLY want this 

to
work so I can get away from Windows and use Linux.

Theoretically should work, why not try it?  (-:
