Hi I'm using a linux 8.2 box with samba 2.2.5 as PDC with only one client pc (win xp) with 2 accounts. Logon, logon script, homedrive and browse shares are working, but when I logon windows show a message which tells that to profile of the server has not the correct permissions.., but there is no profile is just the emty directory. And then a second error that no profile was found local machine (that one I think is correct because there's really no profile local) then I get a temp profile. My question is why the server don't create a profile for the new user in the profile directory. And then I have a second question; how can I move a local profile to a server profile, can I just copy the folders? For testing if set all the folders used to 777 Smb.conf # Global parameters [global] workgroup = FALLICA.NET netbios name = SERVER server string = Samba %v interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24 encrypt passwords = Yes log level = 2 log file = /profiles/%m.log add user script = /usr/dbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u logon script = logon.bat logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\homes\%u domain logons = Yes os level = 64 preferred master = True domain master = True wins support = Yes nt acl support = No strict locking = Yes [netlogon] path = /netlogon read only = No create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 [profiles] path = /profiles read only = No create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0700 [homes] path = /homes/%u read only = No browseable = No nice day franco
