OK, after downloading the entire source for Samba 2.2.7a and compiling,
instead of simply patching up to 2.2.7a, I no longer have the issue of
writing to the Cookies folder in the win9x profile. There is an issue with
the win9x machine not shutting down, but that may be a machine issue, so I
will troubleshoot that some more.
However, the winXP is getting a new error which I am not 100% sure about:
"Windows did not load your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on
with your local profile. Changes to profile will not be copied to the
server when you log off. Windows did not load your profile because a server
copy of the profile folder already exists that does not have the correct
security. Either the current user or the Administrator's group must be the
owner of the folder. Contact your network administrator."
Again, here is the smb.conf and ls -l of the profiles folder:
drwxrwxrwt 4 root users 4096 Dec 9 16:28 profiles
and profiles/
drwxrwxrwx 2 banderso geo 4096 Dec 6 17:05 banderson
(Obviously, the username is banderson, and the users group is geo (the grp
ownership was root, to begin with, but I changed it to geo and got the same
error)
