samba - Sep 2007 - problems with VFS_FAKE_PERMS

Hi,

I want to use the module VFS_FAKE_PERMS for roaming profiles. When I use the
option "writeable = yes" (see config [1]) the user profiles are write
back the server (but they shouldn't, right?).
If I delete the writeable-option (see [2]) windows brings an error when logging
off:

"Windows cannot update your roaming profile. Possible causes of this error
include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem
persists, contact your network administrator." (Event ID: 1504)


[1]

[profiles]
    path = <path-to-profile-folder>
    browseable = no
    writeable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    vfs objects = fake_perms


[2]

[profiles]
    path = <path-to-profile-folder>
    browseable = no
    guest ok = yes
    vfs objects = fake_perms



Any ideas?

Thanks,
Alex

AFAICR, you can instead change something in the profiles themselves to
make them mandatory and make Windows uninterested in writing them back
to to server (something with changing the extension on NTUSER.DAT or
something). This may solve your problem, but perhaps someone who knows
better will chime in.
