samba - Feb 2003 - Interesting problem with samba and .ntprofile

To ANYONE that can help :),

    we where using samba version 2.0.7 and everything worked great. we just
upgraded to version 2.2.7a. and now we get this weird/wicked problem.
sometimes when a user logs out and then trys to log back in it says
"//servername/.ntprofile/share/file" cannot be copied over. i can
delete the
file and then another file cant be copied over. i at times cant delete the
folder or file. windows will say "access denied source file is in
use". i
cant even delete the file when i boot up into safe mode. i have to change
the permissions all over just to be able to delete it. it only happens to a
few people. now the thing is if i go to a different win2k machine the
profile will download file and it will save fine. something is happening
since we went to the new version of samba and i cant seem to figure it out.
if you need more help or .information please send a email to
ronald@wssource.com.

                    Thank you to all

here is a update

We are now trying to upgrade all of our domain client machines from WinNT
to Windows2000 (we're actually doing clean installs, not upgrades).  Under
our limited testing this worked well.

Now that we're rolling it out to the masses in our department, many users
are beginning to have roaming profile problems.  Upon logging in, Win2k
(SP3) gives "access denied" errors to seemingly random files in a
users'
profile, and then login using a local profile.

I delete the "trouble-maker" files, and a user can login... once. 
They
logout, and try to login again, and then we get some "access denied"
errors
again.

(I can access these files by hand just fine once logged in).

 same problem someone else had a from a long time ago.

Ronald,

I am not sure, but I think I remember 
reading that some strange behavior 
connected with roaming profiles can be 
taken care of by turning "nt acl support" 
off on the profile share. I don't know if 
it applies here or if is is dependent on 
other unknown factors (OS of Samba 
machine, phase of moon, ...).

Good luck,

Troy

Dear Troy,

      Already did that and still no luck. i noticed that when there was a
+ at the end of the directories. and reran the config. everything was
working fine untill this new upgrade. i have read on the forums about it
but nobody really gives a answer. i also added this user to are default
group and that didnt work. ive been racking my brain all day over this :(
thanks for the help though Troy

          Ronald
