Hi, we are using samba 3.0.10-17 with openlddap 2.2.6-37.22 as backend. We use roaming profiles, but because of problems with different operating systems and the profile size, we want to use locale profiles. I tried to change logon path in smb.conf in an emty string, but no changes, if I delete this entry in smb.conf, samba use a default value and this is on the server. So I tried to change sambaProfilePath in ldap, I tried an emty string, I tried to delete this entry but no changes. I still have roaming profiles. Is there anyone having a good idea to solve me problem ? Sabine

I would then go to my computer and properties and copy my roaming profile that is on the server to the profile of the local person you just made. See if that works.

Setting a blank string should also work here. Remember that your clients will probably remember what the profile path was for an account, so be sure to try with a fresh user. Check the output of pdbedit -v <username> to be sure the server won't be giving out a (valid) default path.> on the server. > So I tried to change sambaProfilePath in ldap, I tried an emty string, > I tried to delete this entry but no changes.

An empty string in ldap, as far as I've found, is a deleted attribute, so it will default to the server setting. -- -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.

See if that works. >Hi Richmond, thanks for your answer. It is no problem creating local users, or configure local profiles on every computer. But the probleme we have is, that we have nearly 300 computer and about 400 users, this is to much to make changes on every machine. So I need a server based solution. Sabine -- Sabine Zarabian
