This is not mandatory of course, but 15 you probably won't get the results you expect if you do 16 otherwise.</para> 17 18 <para>Any occurrences of <parameter moreinfo="none">%u</parameter> in the path 19 will be replaced with the UNIX username that the client is using 20 on this connection. Any occurrences of <parameter moreinfo="none">%m</parameter> 21 will be replaced by the NetBIOS name of the machine they are 22 connecting from. These replacements are very useful for setting 23 up pseudo home directories for users.</para> 24 25<para>Note that this path will be based on <smbconfoption name="root dir"/> 26 if one was specified.</para> 27 </description> 28 29 <value type="default"></value> 30 <value type="example">/home/fred</value> 31</samba:parameter> 32
