[Samba] Samba PDC

[Don Zajic]

Wouter, in the general section I have this entry:

# Where to store roving profiles (only for Win95 and WinNT)
#        %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is username
#        You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below
   logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U

Below that, I have my "profiles" entry:

# Un-comment the following to provide a specific roving profile share
# the default is to use the user's home directory
[profiles]
    path = /usr/local/samba/profiles
    writeable = yes
    create mask = 0600
    directory mask = 0700

I have taken this right out of the example smb.conf provided with the
samba distribution.  I have been using this setup without any problems
for quite some time (a number of years).

You will experience long log on/off periods if the profiles become
large.  My daughter had spend one evening ripping music (over 30 CDs) to
her local profile.  It took over an hour to log her off the computer.
Ended up with over 1Gig of traffic on my network.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I built a samba PDC for some win2k clients, it all works fine, but i got
the feeling some things aren't right. My first point is that logging
on/off takes WAY longer with the PDC, than just on local accounts, but i
can imagine that's a network problem, but to me it feels like a timeout
or something. The other reason why I think something isn't good is that
the local profile and the profile on the server don't match. For example
I took a new wallpaper with internet explorer (so there is written a
file in the profile called "Microsoft Internet Explorer
wallpaper.bmp") and in the profile on the server it was still the old
one, but local the new wallpaper is written down. I guess you guys need
my smb.conf to locate the issue (if there is one...?), so i'll post it
here.

Greets, Wouter
