Hello, I have an samba/ldap BDC. If I create an user with his homedirectory on this BDC, the winxp clients find the path to the userprofile on this BDC, suse clients can also login with userprofile. If I create an user on the PDC and copy the home directory of this user to the BDC, the clients can login at BDC, but the userprofiles are not loaded. I thought there are faults of unixrights, but I setted full rights to the homedirectories and their subdirectories and files. The rights of the BDC created homedirectories and the PDC created homedirectories are not different. Below there is my smb.conf of the BDC: [global] workgroup = company domain logons = yes domain master = no name resolve order = wins bcast hosts os level = 65 ldap suffix = dc=samba,dc=org ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap group suffix = ou=Groups ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=samba,dc=org ldap ssl = no logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U logon drive = P: logfile = /var/log/samba/%m passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1/ add user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -m %u delete user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-userdel.pl -r '%u' add group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupadd.pl -a %g delete group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupdel.pl %g add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w %u add user to group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod.pl -m %u %g delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod.pl -x %u %g enable privileges = yes [homes] valid users = %S read only = no inherit acls = yes [profiles] path = %H writeable = yes Best regards and many thanks Andreas
