	<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 <smbconfoption name="logon path"/> 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>
