[Bug 521085] Re: Samba 3.4.0 denies access to Roaming Profiles for XP Clients
I don't know if it's worth backporting 3.4.5 to Karmic. In researching this problem and talking to a number of windows sys admins it seems that most samba server users have just given up on roaming profiles because they can't get them to work. It doesn't help that the XP Group Policy settings (managed using gpedit.msc) don't seem to work as advertised, at least not by my testing. Add to that the agony of ironing out a problem when local profile caching is turned on (i.e. the 3-reboot minimum). Unfortunately, in an office with XP clients where people move around there's not much alternative. Well, save for re-installing all the desktops with linux and running Windows apps using Virtualbox. <:) -- Samba 3.4.0 denies access to Roaming Profiles for XP Clients https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521085 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Nothing obvious related to roaming profiles, so it must be something else that fixed it. -- Samba 3.4.0 denies access to Roaming Profiles for XP Clients https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521085 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Many thanks Patrick for investigating that through. I'm closing the main bug task since it's working with Lucid's samba version. I'm nominating this fix for Karmic, we'll try to track down the patch that fixed it in 3.4.0->3.4.5 changelogs. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released ** Also affects: samba (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Samba 3.4.0 denies access to Roaming Profiles for XP Clients https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521085 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 521085] Re: Samba 3.4.0 denies access to Roaming Profiles for XP Clients
OK, Samba 3.4.5, as shipped with Lucid (2:3.4.5~dfsg-2ubuntu1) solves the roaming profile problem, more or less. Windows is very picky about the precise permissions of the profile folder. The permissions on the profile folders were drwx-wx---. This worked fine for fully patched Windows XP SP3 clients and Samba 3.0.2, but no longer works with Samba 3.4.x and the same clients, giving the "windows can't load roaming profile" error messages described previously. Changing the permissions on the profile folder to drwx-- solves the problem. Note that this is NOT the same problem encountered with Samba 3.4.0. For this version, the on shipping with Karmic AMD64 Server, one can create a new profile from scratch and it will give the "window's can't load roaming profile" error message the next time the user tries to log in. I've attached the latest smb.conf file, which is not much different from the original (also attached). -- Samba 3.4.0 denies access to Roaming Profiles for XP Clients https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521085 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Let me know if I need to provide more information in order to confirm this bug. Since I'm trying to upgrade production servers and am already behind schedule, my plan was to go ahead and upgrade to Lucid (which has samba 3.4.5) in order to solve the problem.

[Bug 521085] Re: Samba 3.4.0 denies access to Roaming Profiles for XP Clients
Hmm, I see that you created and someone tested a modified 3.3.2 PPA version, followed by the comment "Marking this fixed in development release (as 3.4.x contains the fix), and nominating for a Jaunty SRU." but didn't see any actual evidence that the patch made it into 3.4.x. My assumption was that it's fixed in 3.4.x where x >= 1. In any case, I'm still having the problem, as described above, and couldn't find any mod to either the profile folders or smb.conf which worked. -- Samba 3.4.0 denies access to Roaming Profiles for XP Clients https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521085 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
