Samba 4 and Profile directory issues.

["David González Herrera - [DGHVoIP]"]

Hi Ricky,

Thank you very much for your reply, I dropped my subscription to the 
list because no one seems to care about these questions in there, then I 
guess what's that list for if they won't answer or at least point people 
to a link that won't take 30secs, well anyways....

Ok, did all of these steps and everything seems to work, except that I 
can't login to the *nix box (ubuntu Serevr 12.04) using the AD users but 
system users can, that's good :)

This worked fine indeed,

root at samba:~# mkdir /home/test && chown dominic /home/test && ls -alhd 
/home/test
drwxr-xr-x 2 MUNDO\dominic root 4.0K May 29 01:34 /home/test


My smb.conf looks like this:

root at samba:~# cat /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf
# Global parameters
[global]
         workgroup = MUNDO
         realm = mundo.local
         netbios name = SAMBA
         server role = active directory domain controller
         server services = s3fs, rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, 
drepl, winbind, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate
         template shell  = /bin/bash

         # Debug logging information
         log level       = 4
         log file        = /var/log/samba.log
         max log size    = 50
         debug timestamp = yes
         bind interfaces only = yes
         interfaces      = eth1
         wins support    = yes

[users]
         directory_mode: parameter = 0700
         path            = /home
         comment         = Users Home Share
         read only       = no
         browsable       = yes

[profiles]
         path            = /usr/local/samba/var/profiles
         browseable      = no
         read only       = no
         writable        = yes
         store dos attributes = Yes
         directory mask  = 0700
         create mask     = 0600
         printable       = no
         profile acls    = yes
         csc policy      = disable


[netlogon]
         path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/mundo.local/scripts
         read only = No

[sysvol]
         path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol
         read only = No

Thanks again.
