I have a domain controller called preshs. I have a few Windows XP computers using linksys wireless cards and a wireless access point that all connect to preshs. The network works fine. Logging in produces no errors, however when a person logs out of an XP machine they get the following error: Windows cannot copy file C:\Documents and Settings\awilliam\Cookies\index.dat to location \\preshs\profiles\awilliam\Cookies\index.dat. Possible causes of this error include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator. DETAIL - Access is denied. Every user gets this error on all the computers. each user owns their profile directory, and each /var/lib/samba/profiles/username is set 700, the Cookies subfolder is 600, and index.dat is 700. I don't see anything wrong with my configuration. any suggestions?
