Hi all, thanks for your replies I got the profiles to work, did not remove the
profile acls = Yes line. This is my profiles section; [profiles] comment = User profiles path = /var/lib/samba/profiles read only = No profile acls = Yes valid users = %U force user = %U That together with the other mentioned configs and commands. Added a line not in the Samba 3.0.28 master configuration files however. Dont know whether this is right. John, the SIDs are different and I had to use this guide to migrate them because the UIDs and passwords are different on either server. http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-December/115326.html ps: My setup (CentOS 5.1, Samba 3.0.28, Openldap 2.x.x) Best regards, Martin.
