I have 2 related questions about NT profiles support in Samba. I'm running 2.0.7. And I'm using samba as a PDC to a VMware NT machine that has been configured in host-only networking which means the virtual NT machine is not bridged to the physical network but only to a virtual 192.168.x.x network on my Linux machine. First question, I haven't got roaming profiles to work as I expected. I'm an NT novice so I'm no doubt missing something obvious. I had expected that when a new user logs into the NT machine, his profile is created on the profile share, but it's not. It gets created locally within the NT machine. There seems to be 2 differing views on how the profile share is supposed to be set up. In 'Using Samba', the share has to be 0/0 writable, so that it can be uploaded from the NT machine. In the DOMAIN.txt doc, the logon path is specified as \\samba-server\%L\profile, suggesting that the profile folder is in the user's home directory. Says nothing about a profile share. The resolution of the above has important implications for how I wish to set up the VMware NT machine and the samba server. I'd like to deploy VMware NT machines to my users' Linux boxes. The Linux boxes are NFS/NIS clustered. It would be nice if a user can log onto any Linux machine, fire up the VMware NT machine and get the same profile. Thus, the latter setup, logon path = \\samba-server\%L\profile would be preferable. The former, a 0/0 writable share won't fly since my NFS mounts quashes root. netlogon is not a problem since it's read-only. I guess the question is: Do roaming profiles work? How does one actually set one up? Does it require a 0/0 writeable profile share? Can anyone suggest how I might accomplish what I wish to achieve or is this basically impossible at this point?
