The [netlogon] and [profiles] Share Sections (SAMBA, SWAT) - PART7

The [netlogon] share section contains scripts that the windows clients may use when they log into the domain. The [profiles] share section stores settings related to the look and feel of windows so that the user has the same settings no matter which Windows PC is logged into. The [profiles] share section stores things such as favorites and desktop icons.

Your smb.conf file should look like this when you're finished:

[netlogon]
       path = /home/samba/netlogon
       guest ok = Yes

[profiles]
       path = /home/samba/profiles
       read only = No
       create mask = 0600
       directory mask = 0700

Here's how to do it.

1. Click the Shares button.
2. Create a [netlogon] share.
3. Modify the path and guest ok settings.
4. Click on the Commit Changes button.
5. Create a [profiles] share section.
6. Modify the path, mask and read only settings. The mask settings allow only the owner of the netlogon subdirectory to be able to modify its contents.
7. Click on the Commit Changes button.

Remember to create these share directories from the command line afterwards.

[root@bigboy tmp]# mkdir -p /home/samba/netlogon
