Users can't delete their own local files

Andre,
Check the following:
1. what share are the local profiles kept on?  Is this share writeable?
2. check the unix permissions and ownership of the DIRECTORY that the 
profiles are kept in; does this ownership/permissions allow for the users
to delete files in that directory?
Hope this helps,
Don

Subject: Users can't delete their own local files


We are using samba 2.07 as PDC and there are
around 800 users who share some 50 NTW4/SP6.

Everything works ok, except that local profiles are
not removed when the user logouts. That's on the
the system policy that is loaded ok from the PDC.

There is yet another problem, probably the cause for
the first one: USERS CAN'T REMOVE THEIR OWN
LOCAL FILES.
If a user creates a shortcut on his desktop (local profile)
he won't be able to remove it then. Same thing on C:\TEMP.
If you check the owner of the file it's ok.
If you check the security of the file the owner is "unknown".
Also userlists requested to the server are incomplete, only
some users show up.

Any ideas ...
