[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.
