Description Joe Frisbie 2003-10-07 06:59:00 UTC 
The %u and %H variable substitutions are not expanded in the "login path" 
parameter. This makes it difficult to setup user profiles.

(Note it doesn't matter which way slashes go)

It seems to know about the user (jf/742) before it does the filename expansion.

The name of the directory created
Comment 4 Joe Frisbie 2003-10-07 07:34:36 UTC 
The same behavior happens if tdbsam is used as the passdb backend instead of 
ldapsam. And there no sambaHomePath, sambaHomeDrive, sambaLogonScript or 
sambaProfilePath attributes in the ldap directory.

did this work under 2.2?  %U should be used in this situation 
over %u.
Comment 6 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2003-11-07 11:06:39 UTC 
btw...this is invalid:

    logon path = //%L/profiles/%u_%m_%H_%a

Use a UNC path (\'s) instead.
Comment 7 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2003-11-07 11:09:26 UTC 
We will not expand %H in the logon path
since it would require a getpwnam() at 
a place in code where we have purposely avoided it.

Marking as won't fix.
