Hello, samba. Why some times apears bad links in user profiles. After that profile can not load correctly. After deletion this bad links (usually in NetHood, some times it is files in different folders), all work fine. W2K client report, what this files can not read, but I can read them in default profile mode from home directory. Users can not login with they profile information before I delete this files. -- Vladimir I. Umnov mailto:samba@ezmail.ru

Are you sharing profiles among different Windows versions? That is, do you have anything other than Windows 2000 using the same profile? I've found that sharing profiles among different versions to be problematic. Microsoft acknowledges that there are incompatibilities (there was a Knowledge Base article I found that was about a problem sharing profiles between, IIRC(?) Windows 95 and Windows 98). I would suggest that first, you never share profiles between Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT/2000/XP, and beyond that, things seem to work better (here, at least) if profiles are restricted to use only within the same specific version (e.g., do not let Windows 2000 and Windows XP share them).

You might also see my (unanswered) mail about DOS Attributes for directories I posted here some weeks ago. It boils down to the fact that WinXP (and maybe W2K does it too?) creates directories in NetHood, which *need* to have the "System" attribute set to make the links work. The directories contain the actual link as a file called "target.lnk". Unfortunately there seems to be no way to retain the "System" attribute with samba, as "map system" only works for files, not folders. If you find a workaround, I'd be glad if you could share your experience! Regards, -Malte -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
