I have searched this list and googled for examples, but have not found 
the answer to this question:

I would have thought that all the lines in the smb.conf was setting up 
an auto mount of the home share, and I did not have to put it in the 
logon.bat script.  I have:


[global]

....

     domain master = yes
     local master = yes
     domain logons = yes
     logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U
     logon drive = q:
     logon home = \\hda\%u


[homes]
     comment = Home Directories
     read only = no
     writeable = yes
     browseable = yes
     create mask = 0640
     directory mask = 0750

I would have thought that user john would have a share of q: of 
\\hda\john but this is not happening.  I am seeing this share if I 
browse the server.

Or do I HAVE to have an entry in the logon.bat of:

net use q: \\hda\%u /persistent:no

?
