[Samba] Sambas as PDC, remote and mobile users question
Hy, I have removed, my win2000 servers, and now i am using samba as the pdc. I have a problem with users and their profile, i am using a configuration where the profiles are allways local(on the laptop) not on the server. And the prob is, when a user takes his laptop home, and the company network is not accesible, he cant logon to the domain, so he cant use his domain profile, he has to logon to logon to the local computer with his local profile, which is outofdate(emails,docs,etc) because the profile he uses all the time is the domain one. I didnt have this problem working with win2000 and AD, because it would permit 5 logons, even if the domain wasnt accesible, so they could work with their domain profile at home. Any idea if you can tune this in Samba? Any idea of a workaround, or how do you handel this situation? thnx a lot for your HELP!!

Remove the network cable from the laptop and let us know what happens.
