Hi all . I'm configuring samba as PDC and I am having some problems .. when a first user logs in in a new computer (recently added to the domain) .. it creates a local directory for that profile .. but when a second user logs in on that computer .. the profile directory is not created and the first user?s directory (on the local machine) is used .. some clue .. ? Thank You -- Camilo Echeverry Your life would be very empty if you had nothing to regret.
Hello I think, that the second user have the same sambaSID number (you are using LDAP as backend for samba?). Windows distinguishes between users only on sambaSID attribute. For windows is user "A" and user "B" with same sambaSID attribute the _same_ user. If first user "A" logs in system and windows creates for him new profile with his privileges (based on user SID attribute), and then logs on this machine second user, this second user will have the same profile (and different profile name). And that might be your problem.

I found this is necessary with recent versions of samba. Also does the user have rights on the unix filesystem to create a folder where there profile is supposed to be written? I generally pre-create profile folders as well as the user's public and private folders and assign permissions when I create the account. John
