Several users get sometimes the wrong profile.
I have one example here:
The user bfs1a-15 logs in. The batch file is created, transfered to the
client and executed. Among others there is a line saying:
net use p: /home
The user gets an error, saying "the password for \\fileserver\fg13z-15 is
wrong, type in the for \\fileserver\fg13z-15:" (translated from german).
I know from the past that some people are missing some files. I saw some
people very confused about files that are in there profile (e.g.: Desktop)
that they never created.
When I look at it, the files have their user-id but it is absolutely
unlikely that:
1.: these files wre created by a hacker
2.: they created those themselfes (they werent here at that day).
In short:
The wrong profile is loaded. Files are written into the profile with the
corresponding id.
I can't prove it yet, but it looks like the wrong user-id is transfered to
samba. I noticed that one user logged in from different computers in
different rooms at nearly the same time. But that might also be two people
sharing the same id (very unlikely).
I notice that both ids have the same length and end with "-15"
I use samba2.2.7 and Openldap 2.1.8. I turned on optimization in the samba
makefile (CFLAGS=-O9) .
When people log in, the server is under stress from ldap-queries.
The clients are manly NT4 and Win2k.
As this happens infrequently, I don't know where I could start to find the
reason.

Aarrgh! They have the same rid! Might that be the reason? Entries were
modified by smbpasswd. How can I solve that (1400+ users).
Don't look for errors in smbpasswd, it is very likely my mistake.
Thanks for any help,
Malte Mueller
