<samba:parameter name="logon home" context="G" type="string" advanced="1" developer="1" xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common"> <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:\></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> </description> <value type="default">\\%N\%U</value> <value type="example">\\remote_smb_server\%U</value> </samba:parameter>
