Oops, forgot to finish my sentence: by default windows will make a copy of the user's profile and use it locally. You can disable this behavior and make it more like the NIS+NFS approach were the user's profile is always on the server (this makes login/logout much faster), but it's kind of a pain (requires a group policy and a login script I think). Oh, by the way, I dug up my old configs (I don't use this configuration anymore, it wasn't worth the hassle for 2 users on my home network). Here's a script I have in /home/netlogon/: $ cat ntlogon.bat echo ****************************** echo * HOME DRIVE * echo ****************************** net use h: \\server\homes echo ****************************** echo * Synchronizing Time * echo ****************************** net time \\server /set /yes And the a snippet from my old smb.conf file: [global] ... domain master = Yes wins support = Yes logon script = ntlogon.bat logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U logon drive = H: logon home = \\SERVER\%U [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/netlogon write list = root, myusername [profiles] path = /home/profiles read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 browseable = No -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
