All,

I setup a couple internal Samba fileservers for my company about 5
years ago. (SuSE 8.1 I think originally).

I don't remember the details but I created a "Homes" share, that when
viewed from a windows machine showed up as the users login name.

I just created a new fileserver from scratch (OpenSUSE 10.2).  Instead
of a Homes share, it has a Profiles share.  It seems similar, but it
is named Profiles for everyone, even though the underlying share
appears to be unique per user.

I suspect I ended up with "Homes" because I told Samba it was part of
a workgroup.  And I ended up with "Profiles" because I told Samba it
was going to be the master PDC.  (We are currently workgroup only, but
I would like to make the new fileserver act as a PDC eventually.)

So my question is how the 2 shares should be used, and if I should
keep both or get rid of one.  And maybe someone could provide some
background of what the Profiles share is really meant to be used for.

Thanks
Greg
