My config is a little complicated because i use some terminal servers in 
windows 2003 and a samba pdc to validate the users of this terminal servers.

Every single machine is diskless so this is why i use terminal server.

When my users start the machine, they get my tuned ltsp from the network 
and automatically conects to some terminal server. They log in and then 
they to this ugly thing of the remote profiles... then i "mount" every 
share, like H: for the home of the user... P: for a public share, and S: 
for a share of some restricted users.

The mistery is that i have this share of the remote profile mapped on 
the unit i asign on the "logon drive" and if i don't set any drive in 
this parameter i get the Z: drive!!! this sucks, becouse i don't want my 
users to see the profile stored on the samba!

Any ideas?

Sorry for my english... i never study.
