[Samba] Roaming profile problems

[vincent blondel]

Hi,

I don't know if it is relative to your problem but I  also use Samba 2.2.5
as a PDC for Nt4 clients and servers except I configured os level as 64 and
not 65.

You will find two articles on http://networking.earthweb.com/netos with a
very good explanation on how to configure Samba as a PDC.

Subject: [Samba] Roaming profile problems


Hello,

I have installed since 6 months a PDC with samba and there is an endless
problem : the roaming profile synchronisation !!!

THE problem : Sometimes after the logout of a client, the roaming profile
is not synchronised on server. So when client connect on another clients, it
seems that some data have been loosed... After there is no later
synchronisation... So mails in profile are often lost!

( This is not a problem with time : The time is synchro with the netlogon
script so clients and server have same time.... )


My configuration :
server :
---------
- linux 2.4.18 with XFS filesystems
- Server samba 2.2.5

client :
-------
Windows 2000 workstation
Service Pack 3

My smb.conf : (some options are in this file for tests as "oplocks")
