hi all i have a samba 3.0.21c with openldap as PDC on Subnet 192.168.129.0, and BDC with slave ldap server on subnet 192.168.130.0 subnet (netbios name fosrv001), we have a group of users for whom i would like to have roaming profile enabled. the profile share is in BDC ie 192.168.130.0subnet. But for users' for whom i have enabled roaming profile are unable to get roaming profile, ie in profile share, the desktop, application data, etc are not getting saved in profile share. the remote profiles share can be accessed without any problem, from any subnet, if the profile share is in another subnet, and if the user is different subnet, will the roaming profile share work for the user. ? The following is the bdc samba smb.conf ################################################################################ [global] unix charset = LOCALE workgroup = msdpl.com netbios name = fosrv001 passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://192.168.130.3 enable privileges = Yes server string = Factory Backup Domain Controller log level = 1 remote announce = 192.168.129.20 remote browse sync = 192.168.129.20 hosts allow = 192.168.129. 192.168.128. 192.168.130. 127. syslog = 0 log file = /usr/local/samba-fo/var/%U.%m.log max log size = 100 smb ports = 139 printcap name = cups show add printer wizard = no logon script = %u.bat logon path logon drive = X: logon home domain logons = yes wins support = No domain master = No preferred master = yes hide unreadable = yes deadtime = 15 wins support = no wins server = 192.168.129.20 ldap passwd sync = yes add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" delete user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-userdel "%u" add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%m" add group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupadd -p "%g" add user to group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m "%u" "%g" delete user from group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x "%u" "%g" set primary group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-usermod -g '%g' '%u' ldap delete dn = Yes name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast hosts socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 #interfaces = eth0, lo #bind interfaces only = yes hide dot files = yes dns proxy = no nt acl support = yes ldap passwd sync = yes ldap suffix = dc=msdpl,dc=com ldap admin dn = cn=foreplica,dc=msdpl,dc=com ldap group suffix = ou=Groups ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap ssl = no ldap timeout = 50 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://192.168.130.3 idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 map acl inherit = yes printing = cups [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S browseable = no read only = no nt acl support = Yes # Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /netlogon/scripts guest ok = yes browseable = no write list = root #Profiles Share [profiles] comment = Profiles Share path = /profiles/%U #read only = No browseable = yes writeable = yes public = yes ###########################################################[homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S browseable = no read only = no nt acl support = Yes # Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /netlogon/scripts guest ok = yes browseable = no write list = root #Profiles Share [profiles] comment = Profiles Share path = /profiles/%U #read only = No browseable = yes writeable = yes public = yes ################################################################################ Regards Niranjan
