[Samba] Problems with Roaming Profiles under Win2k SP3
I'm having a problem wtih 2.2.6pre2 that I seem unable to resolve. When
logging out of my Win2K SP3 machine, I receive the error "Windows cannot
update the roaming profile. The system cannot find the file specified."
Checking the archives and google brings up several references to errors
around the copying of ntuser.dat from the local machine, to a temporary
file on the server, and then using that temp file to replace the old
ntuser.dat, with this error typically occuring in the last step. None of
these seem to suggest a resolution though.
Tweaking the log level and UserEnvDebug haven't turned up any usefull
information. Changing oplocks, nt acl support, and permissions on the
profile directory has also been unsuccesfull.
The Samba server is running on FreeBSD 4.7 and has the following config
file:
[global]
log level = 3
oplocks = no
workgroup = DEADHEAVEN
server string = Geoff Server
hosts allow = 192.168.0.
load printers = yes
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
log file = /var/log/log.%m
max log size = 500
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U
wins support = yes
dns proxy = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writeable = yes
[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon
guest ok = yes
writeable = no
;share modes = no
[profiles]
path = /usr/local/samba/profiles
browseable = no
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
use client driver = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writeable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = root
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /usr/local/samba/printers
guest ok = no
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = root
Any assistance or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
