samba - Mar 2012 - max path length - ExcludeProfileDirs not sufficient - temporary profile

Good evening dear users and developers,

I'm using samba 3.5.6 on Debian Squeeze as Domain-Controller for several
Windows XP clients. Config below.

One user installed a software with settings in C:\documents and
settings\martin\.vkbstandalone/.metadata/.plugins/de.vkb.standalone.tomcat/work/catalina/localhost/eba_standalone_web/org/apache/jsp/jsp/composite/angebot/angebot
zum versicherungsnehmer/html/angaben zum versicherungsn

Indeed quite a long path so i expected problems and used a patch to not sync
this specific folder .vkbstandalone to the server ...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon]
"ParseAutoexec"="1"
"ExcludeProfileDirs"="Lokale Einstellungen;Temporary Internet
Files;Verlauf;Temp;.vkbstandalone"
"BuildNumber"=dword:00000a28

That works - this path is not synced. Now the strange part:

Even though this path is not synced, windows complains about it cannot find the
path and serves a temporary profile - WHY?!

This path is locally available.

snippets from config:

domain logons = Yes
workgroup = FSH

[netlogon]
        comment = Network Logon Service
        path = /home/samba/netlogon
        browseable = No

[profiles]
        comment = Users profiles
        path = /home/samba/profiles
        read only = No
        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = No

I would really appreciate any hints and ideas.

Regards

Stefan

Hi, 

Did you try, 

1) login on the pc.
2) remove the profile from the network. 
3) logout en reboot te computer. 
4) and login again.

Does this work ?
