Thanks for your answer. I tried out your suggestion, but it didn't
solve the problem. I tried the following:
smbldap-usermod -F %LOGONSERVER%\\profiles\\bobj bobj
It worked. %LOGONSERVER% is a windows environment variable. So, in
smb.conf, in the logon path parameter, I can use SaMBa variables, but
in the LDAP directory, in the sambaProfilePath parameter, I can use
Windows variables.
