[Samba] Samba 3.0.4 with LDAP - problem with member server profiles

[Mark Elvers]

Hi, I have Samba 3.0.4 running with openldap 2.2.15.  I have a PDC and two
member servers.  I want to load balance my users home directories and
roaming profiles over the two member servers.  At the moment everything is
on the PDC and is running fine!  I just set sambaHomePath and that
sambaProfilePath to \\pdc\home\username and \\pdc\profiles\username and
everything is fine.

I've created a test user and in the ldif file I have set sambaHomePath and
sambaProfilePath to be \\serverA\home\testuser and
\\serverA\profiles\testuser, where serverA isn't the PDC.  However when I
try to log in the test user gets the unable to load your profile error
message.  I've check all the obvious things - once the user has logged in
I can successfully map drive letters to both the home directory and
profile directory and I can create files there no problem.

In smb.conf of both the PDC and the Member server I have:

[home]
        path = /export/home
        comment = Home Directories
        read only = No
        browseable = No

[profiles]
        path = /export/profiles
        read only = No
        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700
        browseable = No

On serverA I have the follow, which are the exact same permissions that I
use on my PDC.

# ls -l /export/
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 2004-08-22 15:11 home/
drwxr-xrwt  3 root root 4096 2004-08-22 15:17 profiles/

# ls -l /export/home/
drwx------  2 testuser Domain Admins 4096 2004-08-22 15:11 testuser/

# ls -l /export/profiles/
drwx------  2 testuser Domain Admins 4096 2004-08-22 15:33 testuser/


Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks
