Hi list,
I am brand new to this list and have come across an issue with one of
my servers that I can't seem to figure out:
First the specifics of the clients and server:
Clients:
OS - Windows XP PRO SP2
10/100 MB Ethernet adapters (different types in all units)
--> Not sure what else you need to know here
Server:
Mac OS X Server (v10.4.3) running Samba version 3.0.10
User Home Directories live on a RAID 5 array within the server /
Volumes/data/HomeFolders/
User Home Profiles live on a RAID 5 array within the server /Volumes/
data/HomeFolder/Profiles
Permission on the Profiles folder are: 770
Ownerships are: root:staff
These are as the per user instructions as listed on Apples site:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107700
This applies to 10.3 server but 10.4 seems to have the same identical
settings.
The users home folders are shared out and the profiles folder follow
along in suit with no issues until now.
I also have a number of netlogon scripts that mount users share
points at login and set the time. These are basically as follows;
------------------------------------------------------------------------
@rem
@rem This Script will mount
@rem \\ABSI\Shared\ Files - Y: Drive
@rem \\ABSI\Photos - X: Drive
net use Y: \\ABSI\SharedFiles
net use X: \\ABSI\Photos
net time \\ABSI /set /yes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
These scripts and settings all seem to work fine.
The problem.:
Lately the users on this one server have been getting more and more
issues with logging onto the network with regards to their profiles
folder and many times it seems as if samba just goes deaf to logins
and the server needs to be rebooted in order for the authentication
module to work smoothly again.
When users log in now, some users seem to cannot locate their roaming
profiles folder or they get an error message saying their are
duplicates exists on the network. I have never seen this before and a
google turned up next to nothing. I figured it was time to go direct
to the source!
Below is the smb.conf config file and some output from net:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
net getlocalsid:
SID for domain ABSI is: S-1-5-21-2338720986-3514778820-4171820066

Question above concerning the [profiles] settings: The path =/Users/
Profiles is really /Volumes/data/HomeFolder/Profiles. Could this be
where Samba is getting confused? Am I easily able to change this
setting in the smb.conf and restart samba for the changes to take
effect?
Sorry if I am not asking the right questions and THANK YOU for any
and all help anyone can give to me. I appreciate it, even if it's
just pointing me in the direction to head towards. I know there is a
lot of information in this email and I apologize for that. Just
trying to be as thorough as possible...
Thanks,
David
