[Samba] Samba PDC not creating roaming profiles

[Lee Martin]

Hi All,

I've tried pretty much everything I can, I have gotten a step further though.

When logging onto the domain only the profile directory is created for a user,
unfortuanately with nothing in it.

>From earlier I was asked to have a look at the SID, I have updated my Solaris
8 server with the 'smbpasswd -S' command yet this doesn't seem to have sorted
out my problem.

Yesterday, in desperation I installed ver 2.2.8a back on to my orginal Linux Server
with my old config file, which resulted in the exact same thing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lee

I am having a similar problem with samba 3.0 rc4. My roaming profile 
gets loaded upon login, but never gets updated upon logout.  Just to 
debug, I have made all permissions 777 on /home/profile/* and it does 
not help.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
