I have been using samba 3 as a pdc for a while now. starting with samba 3.0.8 all users get a very strange error upon logging out. windows xp complains it can't save the profile, or more specifically the Cookies direcory. windows just says 'access denied'. this has nothing to do with the actual access rights of the Cookies path. even if set to 777, this error occurs. changing back to samba 3.0.7 'solves' the problem. the config options are
./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib \ --localstatedir=/var/lib/samba \ --sbindir=/usr/sbin \ --with-codepagedir=/usr/local/samba/lib/codepages \ --with-privatedir=/etc/samba \ --with-configdir=/etc/samba \ --with-logfilebase=/var/log/samba \ --with-lockdir=/var/lib/samba \ --with-automount \ --with-smbmount \ --with-smbwrapper \ --with-piddir=/var/run/samba \ --with-pam \ --with-pam_smbpass \ --with-syslog \ --with-quotas \ --with-utmp \ --with-msdfs \ --with-vfs \ --with-libsmbclient \ --with-acl-support \ --with-winbind \ --with-winbind-auth-challenge I don't think smb.conf is relevant, since everything else is running smoothly. samba runs as pdc with ldapsam backend. has anyone else experienced the same problem? is it just a bug that will go away with the next version, or is it something more profound? I hope someone can give me a hint and moreover that this serves as a hint to the developers (who are doing a fantastic job btw.; people are often only heard when complaining...) mathias schenker informatiker gymnasium liestal -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
