Hallo, samba, when I run Samba 3.0.32 on my Linux server (security = user) then I can join a Windows 2000 client to the server, the users on the client can connect to the domain. When I update from 3.0.32 to 3.2.3 (the last "official" slackware package) the client cannot more connect to the server; the client shows an error message that the profile directory on the server cannot be found. Client messages: Window "Benutzerumgebung" first message: "Das Profilverzeichnis "\\arktur\Profile\<user>\Win2k.pds" konnte nicht erstellt werden. Sie werden nur mit Ihrem lokalen Profil angemeldet. ..." second message: "Das lokal Benutzerprofil wurde nicht gefunden. Sie werden mit einem tempor?ren Benutzerprofil angemeldet. ..." The directories "/home/Profile" and "/home/Profile/<user>" and "/home/ Profile/<user>/Win2K" were created with 0700. When I change the rights to 0777, the directory ".../<user>/Win2K" is filled with data. But the error messages leaves unchanged. Server messages (debug level 1): (Client think82) think82.log: [2008/10/02 15:10:29, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(1059) [2008/10/02 15:10:29, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr_internal(1596) getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected write_data: write failure in writing to client 0.0.0.0. Error Connection reset by peer [2008/10/02 15:10:29, 0] smbd/process.c:srv_send_smb(74) Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1.

Viele Gruesse! Helmut
