When attempting to login to my Samba 3.0.4 PDC from a Windows XP client as a user with administrative priveleges (in this case, the user is a member of the adm group in Linux and all members of that group are members of the Adminstrators group in Windows) I get the following error: Windows did not load your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. 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. When I attempt to login using my own account (also a member of that group) I get the following error: Windows cannot log you in now because the domain BAGGINS is not available. I created a new user account in Linux and Samba called bagginsuser and get the same error as when I attempt to login using my account. This is my smb.conf file for your perusal. Also included at the end of this are my log.smbd and log.nmbd files. Any assistance would be appreciated.
