+<samba:parameter name="logon home"
+ context="G"
+ type="string"
+ advanced="1" developer="1"

+<description>
+ <para>This parameter specifies the home directory
+ location when a Win95/98 or NT Workstation logs into a Samba PDC.
+ It allows you to do </para>
+
+ <para><prompt moreinfo="none">C:\&gt;</prompt>
+ <userinput moreinfo="none">NET USE H: /HOME</userinput>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>from a command prompt, for example.</para>
+
+ <para>This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing
+ you to have separate logon scripts for each user or machine.</para>
+
+ <para>This parameter can be used with Win9X workstations to ensure
+ that roaming profiles are stored in a subdirectory of the user's
+ home directory. This is done in the following way:</para>
+
+ <para><command moreinfo="none">logon home = \\%N\%U\profile</command></para>
+
+ <para>This tells Samba to return the above string, with
+ substitutions made when a client requests the info, generally
+ in a NetUserGetInfo request. Win9X clients truncate the info to
+ \\server\share when a user does <command moreinfo="none">net use /home</command>
+ but use the whole string when dealing with profiles.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that in prior versions of Samba, the <link linkend="LOGONPATH">
+ <parameter moreinfo="none">logon path</parameter></link> was returned rather than
+ <parameter moreinfo="none">logon home</parameter>. This broke <command
+ moreinfo="none">net use /home</command> but allowed profiles outside the home directory.
+ The current implementation is correct, and can be used for profiles if you use
+ the above trick.</para>
+
+ <para>This option is only useful if Samba is set up as a logon
+ server.</para>
