Greetings to everybody! Is there any way to turn off roaming profiles and use only local ones? In our company each of us connects to domain from its own workstation, so as I can see there's no need in roaming profiles. Why I'm asking such weird question? Because with roaming profiles Windows clients has readonly profiles! With Policy Editor I made HKEY_Local_Machine writeable,

I have a samba 2.2.4 PDC which acts as the repository of roaming profiles. Just recently some of our users have experienced failure to load roaming profiles. The clients are on a pair of Windows 2000 terminal servers. The failure does not seem to be confined to one server and only affects some people. The error given takes place during the loading profile stage: Windows can not copy: \\Samba

Apologies if this has already been dealt with, but I am over 3 weeks behind on Samba mailing list reading - but desperately skimming to catch up. I have just upgraded to 2.2.2 from 2.2.1 in order to combat some runaway smbd daemons. This upgrade does not seemed to have helped. This is a Solaris 2.6 environment. Every time the smbd goes into CPU spin, I notice the following things: a) truss

I have set up a web page describing my Unix to SMB password synchronisiation which also has the source code to the C front end and expect script used. http://www.btinternet.com/~p.polkinghorne/samba/u2s/ Note this is a Solaris specific solution - but should be adaptable to other Unices. Hope this helps someone ... -- Peter Polkinghorne, IT Manager Kingsford Stacey Blackwell

We are running Samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 2.6 as a domain controller. This in general works fine. One of our member PCs (running Windows XP) had software installed that changed the machine name. However on the change (at which I was not present) the machine does not appear to have successfully told the Samba domain controller. There is still a machine account for the old machine name but none for

I have Samba 2.2.4 installed for around 2 weeks - this seems to have fixed the problems we had with 2.2.2 and runaway processes. Today we had a Samba daemon runnig with a consistent 20% load (on a dual processor SPARC with Solaris 2.6. This machine acts as our PDC & WINS server. I used smbcontrol to up the debug levels from 1 to 2, then 3 - at 3 lots of: [2002/05/27 16:54:12, 3, pid=15255,

In investigating some performance issues (elderly server with just 10Mbps ethernet), I noticed that smbstatus reported hardly any open files with oplocks. In particular files opened with Office 2000 & XP stay un-oplocked. I have checked and testparm claims oplocks are enabled and manual says this is so by default. The clients are all Windows 2000 servers - so we have 1 samba connection with
