Hi
I trying to configure Samba PDC/BDC with LDAP master/slave backend and file
server as a Member serwer.
PDC/BDC with ldap is working. But now I 'm in the middle of configuring
roaming profiles but I don't understand some issues.
Samba PDC/BDC with ldap's is on ubuntu server whereas samba member server is
on opensolaris with zfs based storage.
users Home directories will be on Samba Member server(OXHILL), and inside
these directories will be roaming profiles directory and redirected folders.
I dont understand roaming profiles topic could some one explain it is in a
simple way.
As I understand on PDC in order to have roaming profiles I have to add
[global]
.....
logon script = scripts\logon.bat
logon home = \\OXHILL\%U
logon path = \\OXHILL\%U\.profiles
logon drive = H:
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
read only = no
browsable = no
[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
browseable = no
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
locking = no
[profile]
comment = Profile Share
path = /home/%U/.profiles
read only = no
profile acls = yes
so home directory is on OXHILL and profile directory is inside that
directory. But should netlogon share be on that machine too? What for is this
profile share is it necessary if I have logon path?
on Samba member (OXHILL)
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home/%U
read only = no
browsable = no
root preexec = /usr/bin/homecreate '%U'
should I add profile and net logon share?
Please somebody help me to understand relation ship between logon path and
netlogon profiles, and how to do it correctly.
thanks for any help
