Re: [Samba] profile on a remote server
I can state definitively that this works fine. It's an excellent way to reduce WAN traffic, and makes the login process MUCH faster. You're looking for the following LDAP attributes (taken from my PDC's smb.conf): sambaHomePath: \\SERVER\homes sambaProfilePath: \\SERVER\homes\PROFILE_DIR In my case, SERVER is a domain member server. Not sure if it'll work any other way. >>> "timothy johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/2/2006 7:05 PM >>> I notice that in the LDAP the profiles are store in a network share. Is it possible to use a different samba server not setup as a PDC/BDC to share these profile. for an example maybe setup a little samba box on a remote site, that stores profiles and home dirs, but still auth against the PDC. wouldnt that help keep network traffic on the WAN down? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba - This email transmission and any documents, files or previous email messages attached to it may contain information that is confidential or legally privileged.

Re: [Samba] profile on a remote server
Please keep replies on list... I think the solution is given in the below - which doesn't have anything to do with the Windows machine having the local user profile...the problem is the server where you are attempting to write the profile, neither the user nor the 'Administrators Group' has permissions to write the profile on that server. Probably a good idea to fix the permissions on that server share so profiles can be written there.

A samba member server can still use LDAP (via winbind or ldap) for authentication of users.
