Hi all. I've just installed samba-3.0.1-rc1 as a PDC and I can add computers ( win2k ) to the domain, but when users log on, they get an error: ... windows cannot locate your roaming profile ... or words to that effect. My smb.conf is: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = NUS server string = Samba Server %v bind interfaces only = true interfaces = 192.168.0.10/24 passdb backend = tdbsam pam password change = Yes unix password sync = Yes log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba3/log.%m max log size = 50 name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = cups add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false '%u' delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel '%s' add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g && getent group '%g'|awk -F: '{print $3}' delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel '%g' add user to group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -a '%u' '%g' delete user from group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -d '%u' '%g' set primary group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -g '%g' '%u' domain logons = Yes os level = 33 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes wins support = Yes printer admin = @adm printing = cups preserve case = No [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /usr/local/smb_shares/netlogon guest ok = Yes I've read the docs that state that it is not recommended to use roaming profiles, and I agree. How do I stop windows from trying to locate one? Thanks!

PS: Also make sure that the user in pdbedit -Lv 'username' does not specify a profile path.> > [homes] > comment = Home Directories > read only = No > browseable = No > > [netlogon] > comment = Network Logon Service > path = /usr/local/smb_shares/netlogon > guest ok = Yes > > I've read the docs that state that it is not recommended to use roaming > profiles, and I agree. How do I stop windows from trying to locate one?Oh? What documentation says that you should not use roaming profiles? I'd like to know where we slipped up! - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: jht@samba.org
