The times i get that error is on my laptop and that is
if i try to log onto too fast after starting it up. if
i wait about thirty seconds after the splash screen
shows up on my xp laptop i am able to log in. Not sure

Hi,

Have you configured autofs to mount the appropriate home directories?.

If not you need to ensure autofs is started and ensure you have 
something similar to


/home  auto.home in /etc/auto.master where auto.home is a NIS Map 
containing entries like


 :&
bobnishome:/export/homes/:&

Good Luck

- Samba: Ideally, I think if I can get NIS/NFS working fine, it would 
make sense that when Windows users log in (I've gotten samba to permit 
the XP systems to be added to samba with samba acting as the PDC), 
they log into their UNIX accounts.  But, upon attempted login, Windows 
produces the famed small alert window saying Roaming Profiles cannot 
be located, Windows is creating a temporary environment that will not 
be saved upon logout.


What is the magical Samba config/line to permit Samba/domain logins to 
read from the server's UNIX side and give the Windows domain user 
their UNIX home directory for login, and have their UNIX home 
directory as a mapped drive (effectively their roaming profile)?



Thanks.
