[Samba] Roaming profile problems

Hello,

I have installed since 6 months a PDC with samba and there is an endless 
problem : the roaming profile synchronisation !!!

THE problem : Sometimes after the logout of a client, the roaming profile
is not synchronised on server. So when client connect on another clients, it 
seems that some data have been loosed... After there is no later 
synchronisation... So mails in profile are often lost! 

( This is not a problem with time : The time is synchro with the netlogon 
script so clients and server have same time.... )


My configuration :
server :
---------
- linux 2.4.18 with XFS filesystems
- Server samba 2.2.5

client :
-------
Windows 2000 workstation 
Service Pack 3

My smb.conf : (some options are in this file for tests as "oplocks")
----------------
[global]
	workgroup = TERA
	netbios name = TERASERV
	server string = Tera PDC
	encrypt passwords = Yes
	domain admin group = root linagora @admin @S_tera @S_omsyc @S_rom
	add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -n -g machines -c Machine -d /dev/null -s

[Samba] Roaming profile problems

Hi,

I don't know if it is relative to your problem but I  also use Samba 2.2.5
as a PDC for Nt4 clients and servers except I configured os level as 64 and
not 65.

You will find two articles on http://networking.earthweb.com/netos with a
very good explanation on how to configure Samba as a PDC.

[Samba] Roaming profile problems

Hi Laurent.

(a little late, had domain auth probs)

Sorry to say no solution for you, you seem to have tried all I would have
suggested.  I am interested in seeing if you solve this, please let me know
how it goes.

One thing I noticed, is my machine was creating under c:\Documents and
Settings\ numerous user.admin.000, user.admin.001, and so on.  Is this
happening to you too?  The way I fixed it was, as you've already done, to
set nt acl = no, but I did it in the global share, mainly because I don't
fully understand what nt acl support is!

Let me know how it goes.
Chow, Trevor.

[Samba] Roaming Profile problems

We're putting together a setup using Samba 2.2.0 on Linux, SECURITY=DOMAIN,
with authentication done by a Windows 2000 server.  Everything works fine,
except for Roaming Profiles.  We're trying to
store them on the Samba server where the users' home directory is.  (Right
now they're stored in the users' home directory on the NT/2k server.)

I read the mention that I shouldn't use the HOMES share for storing
profiles, so I set up a separate share, and the Windows administrator has
pointed his logon path to it, along the lines of
"\\lnxecssp\profiles\username.pds" but the user gets "Access
Denied" on each file it tries to copy when it goes to download the profile.
The administrator has tried deleting each of the "problem"
files, but the error just moves to the next.

All of the doc I can find on this talks about storing the profiles on a Samba
server when it's a PDC.  I don't recall anything special required for
this when using a Windows PDC, other than one
mention that the profiles share has to be browseable.  We're trying that
shortly.  I also see a lot of mentions of the NETLOGON share, and "NET USE
\HOME", but they're doing this differently here.  Is
this really required?

Can anyone point me at some doc that I might have missed, or does anyone have
any idea how to fix this?

Thanks much.

[Samba] Roaming Profile Problems

Hello:

I am running RedHat 7.3 with Samba 2.2.3a.  My clients are Windows 
2kSP2.  I am having problems where profiles seem to be getting corrupted.
I continually get errors for random users that say something to 
the effect of, "Windows can't copy file-x, path not found".  I
have
verified that the file is in the profile on the Samba server.  This 
results in the user having a temporary default profile loaded for 
them.

Also, shortcuts in the profile being copied down and become invalid 
so I have to continually go and fix them.  

If this can't be fixed how can I disable Roaming Profiles?  I tried 
to take out the settings that I thought should be removed but I kept 
getting similar file copy problems.  If I remove Roaming Profiles 
do I have to build the user accounts on the local machine as well 
as the server?

[SAMBA] Roaming Profile Problems

RE: [SAMBA] Roaming Profile Problems
Thanks for the info Holger.  I only want to disable them a...
resort though.  I pulled the following from the log of one...

  Are the lines where it says Invalid username/password for profiles

it seems strange to me that your profiles share sees nobody while the
netlogon sees vberry.

what is the smb.conf definition of your profiles share?

mine looks like this
[profiles]
        path = /home/xp_profiles
        read only = No
        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700
        csc policy = disable
        share modes = No
