[Samba] Roaming profiles question

[Nathan Vidican]

Your configuration is essentially stating that the user's profile for the 
username 'jblow' would be in '/home/jblow/profiles/jblow' -> the profiles 
share automagically creates a folder with the users name, so making the 
profiles share inside %U/profiles, means that dir must exist and have write 
permission by the user FIRST, something like:

mkdir /home/jblow/profiles && chown jblow /home/jblow/profiles

Should work for the user 'jblow', but I don't think this is quite what you 
were expecting? I think you were assuming you could store their profile in 
home/user/profile/<profile here>, which is not the case, windows will try to 
make the folder with their username, but will not make the parent 
directories (in this case home/user/profile/). - My two cents, hope it 
helps.

I have  Samba 3.014a running.  If I use the standard profiles definition:

[profiles]
    path = /opt/samba/profiles
    writeable = yes
    browseable = no
    create mode = 0600
    directory mode = 0700

then everything works fine.  But changing just the path to
path = /home/%U/profiles
breaks it completely.  I can curious why this doesn't work.  The user
that is logging in owns their directory (%U) so why does windows complain?
