Hi :) I'm working with Samba 2.2.5 (Debian unstable) and have been trying to
get roaming profiles working correctly.
My test client is NT4 (SP5) which is able to log onto the domain correctly,
however even if I do things like change the background colour, change
registry entries, put stuff on the desktop, when I log off the account, only
some of the profile is uploaded.
I say 'some' because the amount seems to vary! If I start with no directory
/data/profiles/clive (clive is the test user) and log on.. make changes...
log off, then it will create some folders like 'Application Data',
'History'... if I log on again, and log off.. it will create some more like
'Temporary Internet Files', 'Start Menu', 'Desktop'...
I repeat this process, and a few more folders appear each time - but they're
always empty! NTUSER.DAT never gets uploaded, and the contents of the
desktop / IE cache never gets synchronised! :/
My smb.conf is short so I'll reproduce it here verbatim.

Any ideas, you lovely people? :)
I also have the Win2000 printer status 'Access denied, unable to connect'
problem, but I'm still tinkering with that before I register an offical cry
for help ;)
Cheers!
