Re: [Samba] Roaming profiles errors and shares not disconnecting
Philippe LAUGET wrote: Hi, We are using Samba 3.0.22 on FreeBSD 5.5 PDC with ldap backend and roaming profiles. We meet some difficulties when users logout from some Windows 2000 SP4 clients, and storing their profiles back to the Samba server. The file NTUSER.DAT seems to be uploaded and stored in lowercase, as ntuser.dat. Then, when users try to reopen a win session, they get a corrupted new profile. This new profile is fully broken, since it's not possible to modify any options that affect NTUSER.DAT. I have a similar problem... same Windows version, same Samba version. According to smb.conf man page, the default option to preserve case is yes. Some times the problem is even more anoying, an user logs in in an Windows station, do whatever he/she wants and logs off. Everything seems go fine, but then when the user logs in again he/she can't, for example, print anymore. I think the biggest problem is that people look at me and say Why I can not print? I've just printed 2 minutes ago. The solution? Erase the old profile and create a new one, but... I have to configure everything again (mail client, browser, back-up the files, etc, etc). I thought once it could be an Ethernet problem (I mean, a physical network problem), but it's not :( Any hints? -- Miguel Da Silva. Servicio de Informatica.

Re: [Samba] How would you setup this config with samba
daniel parkes wrote: Hy people, There is a friends company, that uses windows XP as a server to share directories, i am going to change it for a linux box, with Samba, and run a pdc domain with it, its a simple configuration with 13 computers and the only thing that they have to get w0rking, is passwd policys, they need that each month they have to change passwd, it has to be at least 8 characters long, etc I have read there are some new directives in samba and you can do this kind of things, but i cant find much docs that talk about it, anyone has tried it out?, any docs they can share?, is it working in samba 3.x?, is it a good idea to make a samba a domain controller?. Thnx a lot!! Probably you'll have to also change the password each user have in the backend. And Samba is a very good solution to implement a PDC. Will you use single sign-on (SSO) and roaming profiles? Sometimes I have a little problems with that, but is concerning the Windows part of the configuration. Good luck. -- Miguel Da Silva.
