Roaming Profiles: Samba 2.2.1a > Win98
Laurence
couln't find one that matches my problem, so here goes...
The main problem is that profiles aren't stored on the server,
whenever Windoze creates a profile, it stores in on the local
machine... I've configured Samba and Win98 _exactly_ as specified in
the Samba HOWTO collection, and Samba does a perfect job as a PDC,
it's just the profiles...
Here's a copy of my smb.conf for your perusal. I was told to write it
myself, but i'm still a bit of a Samba newbie so i'm not sure if it's
_quite_ right...
TIA
