Re: [Samba] Problems with XP clients and profiles
Ah, no, I didn't mean to misspell it...That was the problem though :) I'll have a look at that shortly Also, versions were in original posting - Centos 4.2, Samba 3 (3.0.10-1.4E.2, to be exact).

I thought this had to do with the machine and user ID number (SID) related to the Domain server. If you do a pdbedit -Lv -u username you will see the SID numbers for that user.
