Humm
right ok lets see if we can fix it what should happen is that the share
should be connected too and there should be a list of profiles.
Please define share defined as
[nt-profile]
comment = Client Profiles
path = /BUERO/samba/nt-profile
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
this should create a folder and all the profiles should be listed inside
one username and another username.V2
Also what is the profile path assigned to users.
Regards
