Hi again,

I have found this:

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ProfileMgmt.html#id2660484

In smb.conf

Affect the following settings and ALL clients will be forced to use a local
profile: logon home =
<http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/smb.conf.5.html#LOGONHOME>and
logon
path =
<http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/smb.conf.5.html#LOGONPATH>

The arguments to these parameters must be left blank. It is necessary to
include the = sign to specifically assign the empty value.


Anyone can confirm that this is right? can I have problems with existing
profiles?

Thanks,

ESG
