Topic: Samba Roaming Profiles: Windows Not Useing Global Profiles

[Dreamless]

This problem:
Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile.
Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff.
Possible causes of this error include network problems or insufficient security rights.
If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.

Follow by a not useing local profil dialog box useing temp profile.

First of all, read this bugtracker thread: http://no.longer.valid/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000038
Good luck !

Thanks but it dident really solve the problem.

Rights on files should be okay (/home/e-smith/files/users):
drwx------    5 *user*    *user*          4096 Mar 15 20:55 *user*

Kristian,

if it would be a permission problem (I doubt it) you need to check the permissions on /home/e-smith/files/samba/profiles because that's where the profiles for NT, W2K and XP users are stored.

The error message sounds like it comes from one of those OS (not Win9x). I would still suspect that Wyron's pointer is the right one. It sounds to me that the /etc/smbpasswd file is not linked to /etc/samba/smbpasswd. I would copy it into /etc/samba, restart Samba and try again. If it still does not work I would copy secrets.tdb over to /etc/samba as well.

Regards,
Michael
