What I did was create a generic netscape user on a
machine with a netscape username of "Netscape" and
then copied that directory to each user's home
directory. Then at each Windows workstation I'd
install Netscape and setup the user "Netscape" to use
the profile in drive "U:\Netscape" where U: was the
users mapped home drive. This setup worked just fine
and I had user roaming profiles for Netscape. I assume
that Mozilla will work the same way. I did this with a
Netware server. I assume it would work with a Samba
server too.
