[Samba] Profiles with an LDAP backend being overridden

Hi All,

I've got LDAP running as the backend to Samba 3.0.24 and am trying to 
set the profile directories to mandatory for one group of users and 
roaming for another. To this end I'm using the sambaProfilePath in LDAP 
but it's getting overridden by something that's setting it to %u. As a 
result of this, when I log out of an account which points to the 
mandatory profile, it creates a new profile with the users username.

There's nothing  in the smb.conf that refers to a profile directory so 
I'm assuming this is a default. Is there any way of forcing Samba to 
follow the LDAP path?


Cheers,

jools
