1 <samba:parameter name="logon home"
4 xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
7 This parameter specifies the home directory location when a Win95/98 or NT Workstation logs into a Samba PDC.
12 <prompt moreinfo="none">C:\></prompt><userinput moreinfo="none">NET USE H: /HOME</userinput>
16 from a command prompt, for example.
20 This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing you to have separate logon scripts for each user or machine.
24 This parameter can be used with Win9X workstations to ensure that roaming profiles are stored in a
25 subdirectory of the user's home directory. This is done in the following way:
29 <command moreinfo="none">logon home = \\%N\%U\profile</command>
33 This tells Samba to return the above string, with substitutions made when a client requests the info, generally
34 in a NetUserGetInfo request. Win9X clients truncate the info to \\server\share when a user does
35 <command moreinfo="none">net use /home</command> but use the whole string when dealing with profiles.
39 Note that in prior versions of Samba, the <smbconfoption name="logon path"/> was returned rather than
40 <parameter moreinfo="none">logon home</parameter>. This broke <command moreinfo="none">net use /home</command>
41 but allowed profiles outside the home directory. The current implementation is correct, and can be used for
42 profiles if you use the above trick.
46 Disable this feature by setting <smbconfoption name="logon home">""</smbconfoption> - using the empty string.
50 This option is only useful if Samba is set up as a logon server.
