Hi everyone, thanks to John Terpstra's hint (teh old thread started with Msg [EMAIL PROTECTED]), our xp clients now do join the domain :-).
However, they still fail to read user profiles which were created by the old Win98 clients. The relevant parts of smb.conf look like this: ---------------------------- begien smb.conf ---------------------------- [global] domain master = yes printing = bsd encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY kernel oplocks = false wins support = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap case sensitive = no logon script = %U.bat interfaces = 192.168.10.10/255.255.255.0 keep alive = 30 writeable = yes map to guest = Bad User security = user preserve case = yes domain logons = yes workgroup = zentrum load printers = yes os level = 2 logon home = \\%L\%U\profile debuglevel = 4 [netlogon] path = /netlogon writeable = yes guest ok = no [homes] comment = Heimatverzeichnis browseable = yes read only = no writeable = yes create mode = 0750 ---------------------------- end smb.conf ---------------------------- ... and here's a snip form log.smbd: ---------------------------- begin log.smbd---------------------------- unix_clean_name [/profile/xpsp2res.dll] [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfilepathinfo(1634) call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of profile/xpsp2res.dll failed (No such file or directory) [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(91) error string = No such file or directory [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(103) error packet at smbd/trans2.c(1636) cmd=50 (SMBtrans2) NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/process.c:process_smb(860) Transaction 125 of length 99 [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/process.c:switch_message(667) switch message SMBtrans2 (pid 7193) [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 4] smbd/uid.c:change_to_user(118) change_to_user: Skipping user change - already user [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfilepathinfo(1613) call_trans2qfilepathinfo: TRANSACT2_QPATHINFO: level = 257 [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] lib/util.c:unix_clean_name(387) unix_clean_name [/profile/shell32.dll] [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfilepathinfo(1634) call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of profile/shell32.dll failed (No such file or directory) [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(91) error string = No such file or directory [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(103) error packet at smbd/trans2.c(1636) cmd=50 (SMBtrans2) NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/process.c:process_smb(860) Transaction 126 of length 99 [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/process.c:switch_message(667) switch message SMBtrans2 (pid 7193) [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 4] smbd/uid.c:change_to_user(118) change_to_user: Skipping user change - already user [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfilepathinfo(1613) call_trans2qfilepathinfo: TRANSACT2_QPATHINFO: level = 257 [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] lib/util.c:unix_clean_name(387) unix_clean_name [/profile/shell32.dll] [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfilepathinfo(1634) call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of profile/shell32.dll failed (No such file or directory) [2005/01/30 23:35:28, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(91) ---------------------------- end log.smbd---------------------------- There are lots of similar messages some of which make sense to me (e.g. I don't have a logon script) . But I am suspicious of things like profile/xpsp2res.dll failed (No such file or directory) File permissions are 755 throughout my user profile (located, of course, in $HOME/profile). Any ideas what's wrong? TIA, Martin -- Dr. Martin Pauly Fax: 49-6421-28-26994 HRZ Univ. Marburg Phone: 49-6421-28-23527 Hans-Meerwein-Str.
