The constant mark applied to types "string" and "ustring". The previous patches in this patchset already markes all string options as either constant or substituted, but it's still possible to add options or change existing ones to be neither constant nor substituted. In order to enforce strings to be either constant or substitued, remove the explicit constant marker. Instead, any option that is not marked as substituted is implicitly made constant. This patch doesn't change behaviour and all generated files are the same before and after this change. Signed-off-by: Ralph Boehme <slow@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>

<para>

This parameter specifies the directory where roaming profiles (Desktop, NTuser.dat, etc) are
|
|
stored. Contrary to previous versions of these manual pages, it has nothing to do with Win 9X roaming
|
|
profiles. To find out how to handle roaming profiles for Win 9X system, see the
|
|
<smbconfoption name="logon home"/> parameter.

This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing you to have separate logon scripts for each user or
|
|
machine. It also specifies the directory from which the "Application Data", <filename
|
|
moreinfo="none">desktop</filename>, <filename moreinfo="none">start menu</filename>, <filename
|
|
moreinfo="none">network neighborhood</filename>, <filename moreinfo="none">programs</filename> and other
|
|
folders, and their contents, are loaded and displayed on your Windows NT client.

The share and the path must be readable by the user for the preferences and directories to be loaded onto the
|
|
Windows NT client. The share must be writeable when the user logs in for the first time, in order that the
|
|
Windows NT client can create the NTuser.dat and other directories.
|
|
Thereafter, the directories and any of the contents can, if required, be made read-only. It is not advisable
|
|
that the NTuser.dat file be made read-only - rename it to NTuser.man to achieve the desired effect (a
|
|
<emphasis>MAN</emphasis>datory profile).

Windows clients can sometimes maintain a connection to the [homes] share, even though there is no user logged
|
|
in. Therefore, it is vital that the logon path does not include a reference to the homes share (i.e. setting
|
|
this parameter to \\%N\homes\profile_path will cause problems).

Do not quote the value. Setting this as <quote>\\%N\profile\%U</quote>
|
|
will break profile handling. Where the tdbsam or ldapsam passdb backend
|
|
is used, at the time the user account is created the value configured
|
|
for this parameter is written to the passdb backend and that value will
|
|
over-ride the parameter value present in the smb.conf file. Any error
|
|
present in the passdb backend account record must be editted using the
|
|
appropriate tool (pdbedit on the command-line, or any other locally
|
|
provided system tool).

Disable the use of roaming profiles by setting the value of this parameter to the empty string. For
|
|
example, <smbconfoption name="logon path">""</smbconfoption>. Take note that even if the default setting
|
|
in the smb.conf file is the empty string, any value specified in the user account settings in the passdb
|
|
backend will over-ride the effect of setting this parameter to null. Disabling of all roaming profile use
|
|
requires that the user account settings must also be blank.
