>So I "su -" to a user and checked I could even get into my profile
>folder in the server, and I couldn't. I couldn't even get into
>/var/lib/samba.

>I have changed /var/lib/samba to 755 and profiles to 755 too.

>At no point in the Samba Guide does is say what the permissions should

>Also, can you point me to some documentation on guest account logins

>saved in "profiles" rather than profdata obviously.
>
>Lastly, my logon.bat which sets the time and maps the app folder to I
>doesn't work. I saw yesterday that I might needs "scripts/logon.bat",
>but that doesn't work. I also made sure that it is in dos format using
>dos2unix (a perl oneliner actually).
