Hello I am new to the samba world and have problem with my samba installation I can't use profiles for my Windows Clients (XP/2000) Version: Samba 3.0.22-13.18 of SuSE 10.1 I use Samba with openLDAP and smbldap-tools. For these progs it looks like all perfect (I can login from the Clients). I try to use Samba as PDC for my Windows Clients. The Clients can logon to the PDC and I also can use the netdrives I configured in smb.conf. But I can't use the profiles. On Logon the typical message shows up the client is unable to use/load the serverbased profile and instead it's using a local temporaly profile. On the samba site it shows up the folder in the profiles-folder for the user I logged in but there is no profile-file. I changed all read/write rights so everybody can write and read (wrx) but nothing happen. thanks --------------------------------- LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

pituran,
Obviously we would need at least yur smb.conf to figure out what's going
on...
BUT:
Do the profile dirs have the proper rights/ownership?
I use the following to make sure the directory get's created properly:
[profiles]
comment = Roaming User Profiles
guest ok = yes
browseable = no
writeable = yes
path = /home/profiles
create mode = 0600
directory mode = 0700
veto files = /.*/
hide files = /desktop.ini/
root preexec = PROFILE=/home/profiles/%u; if [ ! -e $PROFILE ]; \
then mkdir -pm700 $PROFILE; chown %u.%g $PROFILE;fi
Hope this helps...
Cheers,
