Hi there,

I just installed successfuly my first sam/ldap network (and feel quite elated
after some frustrating time  of hacking into lots of new concepts).

now my first (and only) windows box on the net can happily log into the samba
domain. i did then configure some somftware like mozilla and friends, and loged
out again.

unfortunately after my login, all my configurations are lost, and I get (like
with the first login) a message saying, that no profile was found.

what do I have to do, that the profiles are saved?
do I have to use automount or some such?

I include my smb.conf

thanks for your time
robert
