We use:-

[mydocs]
root preexec = if [ ! -d "/n17/profiles/%u/My Documents" ] ;\
then { mkdir -p "/n17/profiles/%u/My Documents" ;\
chown -R %u "/n17/profiles/%u" ; \
chmod -R 0700 "/n17/profiles/%u" ;} ; \
fi
path = /n17/profiles/%u/My Documents
readonly = no
;profile acls = yes
;oplocks = no


To create a (sort of) profile share for our users, but only as needed.


We've not noticed any performance problems. There's not even a noticable
difference between the first time you connect and any subsequent time.
