OK, I've tried to "read the fine material" and have read more than one reference and more than a few
months worth of threads in the archives, but I am still stumped with this issue.
When using logging on with Win9x, there is a profile error #4, and it complains that it was not able to open
or create a file in the \\regmain\[username]\.profile\Cookies folder on login and sign out.
On Win XP, it says "The network name is no longer available" even when trying to join the domain, or if I
manage to get a machine to join the domain, then while it is searching for the server copy of the profile.
I'm still fighting to get the errors consistent enough to track down further than that, but that's where I am,
right now.
I have profiles chmod to 1777, I have also tried creating the profile directories by hand, or using the "build
profile" script, as noted in another source. I have made sure to chown to the user, where appropriate.
Here is my smb.conf:
# Samba config file created using SWAT (But heavily tweaked from there)
# from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0)
# Date: 2002/12/11 15:40:00
