<expletive deleted> My roaming profiles keep "forgetting" they
exist on
my W2K boxen. It doesn't occur server-side, as other W2K clients log in
fine. But, once one of the clients has forgotten about roaming profiles,
it usually takes a re-install to make it remember them... and then, only
temporarily. (Except on one machine that's worked fine from the get-go.)
I even entirely re-did my smb.conf, and upgraded to 2.2.4, in case I was
missing something. I readily admit I may have done something wrong; the
PDC docs leave some "holes" in the configuration matrix that makes me
guess on interpretation. Anyway, below, please find my smb.conf (PDC),
and feel -free- to call my attention to anything I've fsck'd up.
Thanks muchly, all...
