[Samba] PDC: client has profile.pds trouble

2006-10-20 Thread Boniforti Flavio

Hello list.

I just installed and configured my first Samba-3 PDC and I succeeded
immediately with the join operation with a Win2k SP4 client.
As I afterwards rebooted and tried to logon with the domain user, both
root and regular user, I got an error messagge telling me that it was
unable to create \\servername\root\profile.pds.

In fact, my /home/profiles directory remains empty (no user
directories are created at all). Permissions are chmod 1757...

I will really appreciate help on this issue.

BTW: I'm not wanting Roaming Profiles, I will try them after I can
logon to the PDC with local client profiles at first.

Many thanks in advance.

Samba and windows xp has them switched on by default.  IIRC you need to 
set a blank config directive for profiles so as not to use them:

logon path =

Try that to switch them off.

or you could could create the profile path anyway..

Bye, Veronica

I didn't know that WinXP has them switched on by default, if the PDC
is Samba. Nonetheless, I'm using Win2k, which doesn't behave any
better.
Actually I have following in my config:

logon home = 
logon path = 

As you suggested to blank the logon path, I did it, removing the
double-quotes.
The result is still the same, no way to log on and no profile is
getting created.

Could you please post me your output of ls -la of one of your
profile directory tree? And, could you tell me whether profile.pds
is a directory or a file?

I manually created /home/profiles/root and in there I created the
directory profile.pds - nothing changed, even as I created an empty
file named profile.pds instead of a directory.

Thanks, again!
