[Samba] Windows XP SP2 on a Samba 3.0.10 PDC - roaming profiles won't work
Hi All, I am having some trouble getting Windows XP with SP2 connected to a Samba 3.0.10-based domain controller. With SP1, I only had to change a single registry key to prevent Windows from demanding a signed connection, then it worked. But with SP2, and the same samba-configuration, I have noticed that upon log-off, the user's profile is updated by the user "root" of the group "users", effectively preventing the real user from accessing the data on the next logon (since I employ user-only access restrictions for the profiles-subdirectories). I have tried forcing other create-modes, (world-read- and writable), but Windows still refuses to read the profile and tells me, that a temporary local profile has been used instead. Does anyone have any idea as to what the reasons for this mis-behaviour may be? The local "Windows firewall" has been deactivated, thus that should not be the problem. /Thomas -- When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows", people just stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, for free". - Linus Torvalds, 1995
