- Subject: [tlug] Can samba do logon serving without profiles?
In /etc/samba/smb.conf, the following lines make it a login server for 'Doze clients: [global] domain logons = Yes domain master = Yes If the following lines existed then they would set unwanted misfeatures: [global] logon script = ... [netlogon] path = ... logon home = ... logon path = ... [profiles] path = ... Unfortunately logon home and logon path get some default settings when they aren't defined in smb.conf. Actually it isn't entirely bad to have home directories. The following lines let users store files for themselves on the server: [homes] create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 read only = No browseable = No The problem is that a "profile" directory ends up getting created for each client user. This wreaks havoc when a user moves from one client machine to another. The user's 'Doze start menu gets copied from one 'Doze machine to another. For example a shortcut to Monopolysoft Turd on drive D: on one machine gets copied to an identical shortcut on another machine even when the resulting 'Doze machine doesn't even have a D: drive. This isn't the most destructive misfeature that Monopolysoft invented but it's not for lack of trying. Anyway, when the domain servers are Monopolysoft machines it is possible to disable this misfeature and have no profiles. My question is now, when the domain server is Linux with Samba, how to disable this misfeature and have no profiles? (Sorry for the lack of Japanese content in this question. If you need an obligatory Japanese connection, then why does the "character set" parameter have to be spelled "coding system" instead of "character set" when the character set is a Japanese character set. But this is a minor irritant. Anyone who can tell me how to remove the profiles misfeature, please, I'm desperate.)
