Hi all,
I have a Linux RH 7.2 box, with samba 2.2.2, acting as a PDC. It behaves
perfectly with Win 2K clients, but with NT 4.0 boxes, they cannot modify
their desktops, save files to the desktop, etc.
I get the "welcome to windows NT" splash screen when it comes up, and there
is no checkbox to tell it not to do that in the future.
I can log in, browse, and otherwise do normal stuff.
Also, there is not a .pds extention to the directory. I have seen some docs
that the user profiles directory needs a .pds extention.
All client machines are NT 4.0 SP 6
Here is the smb.conf.
[global]
netbios name = stego
workgroup = NIPC_domain
os level = 64
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
domain logons = yes
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g 99 -d /dev/null -m -s
/bin/false %m$
logon script = \\stego\netlogon\logon.bat
domain admin group = @root
wins support = yes
time server = true
guest account = lab1
debug level = 5
logon path = \\stego\profiles
[netlogon]
path = /etc/samba/netlogon
writeable = no
browseable = yes
public = no
locking = no
[profiles]
comment = windows user profiles
path = /profiles/%u/profile
create mode = 0600
directory mode = 0700
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
