Samba troubles
Using the lastest unstable/frozen package of Samba I have run into a
curious problem with Win98. I have finally got profiles and netlogon
working to my satisfaction with one serious exception: all Explorer
windows no longer automatically update when I add, remove or rename
files (that are local).
So profiles are copied back and forth but I've broken Explorer... any
help is appreciated.

My configuration follows. The file test.bat contains the line "net use
h: /home" but this seems to make no difference either way.

; /etc/smb.conf

; Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux

; Please see the manual page for smb.conf for detailed description of
; every parameter.

; Passwords are encrypted by default. This way the latest Windows 95 and NT
; clients can connect to the Samba server with no problems.

; It's always a good idea to use a WINS server. If you want this server
; to be the WINS server for your network change the following parameter

; Read BROWSING.txt for more details.

; This boolean parameter controlls whether Samba attempts to sync. the Unix
; password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
; /etc/smbpasswd file is changed.
unix password sync = true
; For Unix password sync. to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
; parameters must be set (thanks to Culus for pointing this out):
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New\spassword:* %n\n *Re-enter\snew\spassword:* %n\n *Password\schanged.* .
; The following parameter is useful only if you have then linpopup package
; installed. The samba maintainer and the linpopup maintainer are
; working to ease installation and configuration of linpopup and samba.
; message command = /bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/linpopup "%f" "%m" %s; rm %s' &
; The default maximun log file size is 5 MBytes. That's to big so this
; next parameter sets it to 1 MByte. Currently, Samba rotates log
; files (/var/log/{smb,nmb} in Debian) when these files reach 1000 KBytes.
; A better solution would be to have Samba rotate the log file upon
; reception of a signal, but for now on, we have to live with this.
