samba - Dec 2004 - 2003 Terminal Server profile storage problem (earlier message was incomplete - sorry)

Sorry - sent before completed.- my apologies for the dup.

 

I've got Samba set up with the homes share configured.

 

I've added the settings under the Terminal Services Profile tab of a test
user.

 

When I log in, the folder specified is created, but it doesn't receive any
data files until the user logs off.

 

In the NT event viewer, I see :

Event Type:       Warning

Event Source:    Userenv

Event Category: None

Event ID:           1525

Date:                2004.12.07

Time:                10:41:39 AM

Description:

Windows has detected that Offline Caching is enabled on the Roaming Profile
share - to avoid potential profile corruption, Offline Caching must be
disabled on shares where roaming user profiles are stored. 

 

 

 

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

Reading that gets me here:

The error is apparently that as Samba doesn't support telling 2003 NOT to
cache network data offline, 2003 DOES THIS by default, which means I'm not
really network storing my files. I've got a cached-roaming profile
happening.

 

Is there a way to fix this?

 

I don't want to ignore the warning as it's not giving me the desired
results
;-)

 

Thanks!

Perhaps you should try messing with this setting in the share you're 
having problems with.  From the man page:

csc policy (S)

    This stands for /client-side caching policy/, and specifies how
    clients capable of offline caching will cache the files in the
    share. The valid values are: manual, documents, programs, disable.

    These values correspond to those used on Windows servers.

    For example, shares containing roaming profiles can have offline
    caching disabled using *csc policy = disable*.

    Default: //csc policy/ = manual /

    Example: //csc policy/ = programs /
