I'm trying to set up for my small school lab: Samba as PDC, 11
workstations running XP Pro, roaming profiles with folder redirection.
(I finally got the workstations to join the domain by adding them by
hand--so I assume something is wrong with my add machine script, but
I'll address that issue later, since I have only the 11 XP boxes to deal
with.)
Now I'm working on getting the user profiles to work, based on TOSHARG
chapter 23 plus Practical Exercises. But I'm not being successful, and
I'd appreciate some help:
My understanding is that when a user logs onto the domain for the first
time, Windows should copy the default profile from the NETLOGON share on
the Samba machine.
(If this understanding is erroneous, please explain wherein I've
misunderstood.)
I have added the Samba user "tobedeleted", and put an ntuser.dat file
for a default user in the /var/lib/samba/netlogon directory, which is
the path I specified in the [netlogon] share, but Windows gives an error
to the effect that the user's profile can't be found on the server, and
that it will therefore create a local profile.
Here's the relevant section of the samba log file for that machine:
[2005/08/30 13:39:43, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(430)
write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Connection reset by peer

And here is the corresponding section of the smbd log file:
[2005/08/30 13:39:43, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1150)
getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
I'm puzzled by the "couldn't find service var" message. Is "var"
supposed to be a service? I thought it was a directory.
I have also copied below my smb.conf file in case it helps someone point
out my errors:
