Gladly and with the help of this list, I have solved my previous problem with Samba as a PDC. My new and improved problem is with the ntusers.ini file. Which seems to be overwritten at each and every login. This creates a problem in that that file lists directories to be excluded and THAT list includes the Local Settings directory. In someone's infinite wisdom, they decided to also keep outlook pst files in there and now my users have a working outlook setup in one station, but if they move to another the profile actually refuses to load that. The on kind of solution I have found is to chattr the ntusers.ini file. But that prevents any profile updates and isn't particularly acceptable. Any help on this one would be super welcome. Once again, please CC me if replying to the list as I am not subbed. Following is my smb.conf. Thanks again. --Gabe [global] workgroup = UNCC server string = UNCC File Server netbios name = FISH log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m log level = 1 syslog = 0 security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE wins support = yes time server = yes add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /dev/null -M %u local master = yes os level = 64 domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes logon path = \\%L\%U\.profile logon drive = Q: logon script = scripts\%U.bat logon home = \\%L\%U utmp = yes hide unreadable = no dns proxy = no unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n . obey pam restrictions = yes preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes domain admin group = @uncc admin users = @uncc #======================= Share Definitions ====================== [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /databank/home/samba/netlogon writable = no write list = gabe browseable = yes [profiles] path = /databank/home/%U/ writable = yes create mask = 0666 directory mask = 0700 browseable = no profile acls = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 profile acls = yes [working] comment = UNCC Working Directory path = /databank/working valid users = @uncc read only = No browseable = Yes [stuff] comment = UNCC's Misc Stuff path = /databank/stuff valid users = @uncc read only = No browseable = No [uncc] comment = UNCC Data path = /databank/uncc valid users = @uncc read only = Yes browseable = Yes
