I am using samba 2.2.1a in the following environment:
Solaris 8+RedHat 8+win2k/XP clients
files are on a Network Appliance fileserver
The samba server is used as a PDC for authentication with the NIS server.
We don not have a windows server.
Recently I was asked to change the Unix UID's of our employees.
On the Unix side you modify NIS and run the chown command on all the
users files. I than removed the samba account and recreated it with the
smbpasswd command.
What happened on the PC side was that when the user logged into his PC
the users original profile was not "accepted". The PC created a new
directory in the Documents and Settings directory and named it:
username.domain_name000
I attempted to use xcopy to copy the files from username.domain_name
directory to the username.domain_name000 directory, but still
encountered all kinds of problems.
has anyone encountered this problem?
Can anyone help me out?
