Hi people. Im in need of help as far as roaming profiles are concerned.
Allow me as I know this issue has been discussed timelessly but let me just
ask it because I have been unable to get it to work.
My Samba + Ldap setup is fine and XP users can authenticate alright. Im
using samba 3.0.28. However when logging in for the first time, they get the
message;
Windows cannot locate a server copy.... -Access is denied
When logging off,
Windows cannot update your roaming profile... -Access is denied
I copied the profiles across from another server, so the first error does
not come up except for new users and the old profiles are mapped onto the
users machines just fine.
I think I've done everything for roaming profiles to work including
mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/profiles
chown root:users /var/lib/samba/profiles
chmod 2775 /var/lib/samba/profiles
chown -R user /var/lib/samba/profiles/user/
The samba logs don't show any errors.
Below is my smb.conf file
[global]
workgroup = EXAMPLE
netbios name = EXAMPLE_SERVER
server string = Samba Server Version %v
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://example.org/
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser -m "%u"
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /var/lib/nobody -g 100 -s
/bin/false -M %u
logon script = %u.bat
logon path = \\EXAMPLE_SERVER\profiles\%U
logon home = \\EXAMPLE_SERVER\%U
domain logons = Yes
domain master = Yes
ldap admin dn = "cn=config"
ldap group suffix = ou=groups

[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
share modes = No

[profiles]
path = /var/lib/samba/profiles
read only = No
writable = Yes
profile acls = Yes
comment = User profiles
create mask = 0600
browsable = no
directory mask = 0700
My searches on the web have not helped much. I am running on a Red Hat like
system (CentOS 5).
Someone please help. I will be eternally grateful.
