[Samba] Roaming Profiles Support: Is it working correctly?
Hello everyone,
i have the following Problem with a Samba Server 3.0.9
If an Windows XP SP2 client saves it profile back to the server and
the profile directory does not exist, windows will create it.
It users the following permissions:
- user: rwx
- primary group: wx
And that's the problem, logging off and on prevents windows from reading the
saved profile, although the user has full access rights, his primary group has
none
and windows stops reading the profile. If you manually change it to rwx for the
primary group, windows is able to read it's profile perfectly.
The question is now, how to get windows creating it's profile correctly!
Mit freundlichem Gru?,

You can download this from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf In particular, check chapters 4,5 and 6. All support roaming profiles. If any step does not work please let me know so I can fix it. - John T.> > > Mit freundlichem Gru?, > > > > Dirk Laurenz > Systems Engineer > > Fujitsu Siemens Computers > S CE DE SE PS N/O > Sales Central Europe Deutschland > Professional Service Nord / Ost > > Hildesheimer Strasse 25 > 30880 Laatzen > Germany > > Telephone: +49 (511) 84 89 - 18 08 > Telefax: +49 (511) 84 89 - 25 18 08 > Mobile: +49 (170) 22 10 781 > Email: mailto:dirk.laurenz@fujitsu-siemens.com > Internet: http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com > http://www.fujitsu-siemens.de/services/index.html > *************************************************************************** >****************************************-- John H Terpstra Samba-Team Member Phone: +1 (650) 580-8668 Author: The Official Samba-3 HOWTO & Reference Guide, ISBN: 0131453556 Samba-3 by Example, ISBN: 0131472216 Hardening Linux, ISBN: 0072254971 Other books in production.
