In my Workplace we have samba 3.0.3 running on our server with Clients ranging from WinXP and Windows 2000 to MacOSX and Linux. After a server crash, and having to rebuild our Authentication server we have had a problem where specific Windows PC's will point to the same profile for all roaming users. The "set" command returns
USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\user
where user is whatever user's profile has become the default for all roaming profiles.


This problem presents a huge security concern, as the data belonging to the user that becomes the default is now available to all roaming users on that system.

This problem seems to remain with specific computers, those pc's on which the "default" user has logged in at a point in time. The problem follows all users that have logged into the affected PC, infecting their profiles on login. The only solution we currently have to this problem is the deletion of all profiles that have been involved.

The problem has been seen in different departments with no known interaction, so the assumption is that this is a server problem. Have you encountered this problem before, or do you have any suggestions on how to solve this. Thanks.
