+ <listitem><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>
+
+ <para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">logon home = &quot;\\%N\%U&quot;</command></para>
+ <para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">logon home = &quot;\\remote_smb_server\%U&quot;</command>
+ </para></listitem>
