Hi Erik,
let me first thank you for your reply. I at first had an problem with
permissions here that prevented my logon.bat from beeing executed (the
directory it was in missed an X to be readable my the group "users"),
but this still does not fix the profiles problem... I think the
permissions there should be right:
pdc:/samba/profile# ls -la
drwxrwx--- 14 root users 4096 Oct 12 08:57 .
drwxrwx--- 5 root users 4096 May 13 13:33 ..
drwxr-x--- 13 felix users 4096 Oct 20 14:09 felix
pdc:/samba/profile#
pdc:/samba/profile/felix# ls -la
total 272
drwxr-x--- 13 felix users 4096 Oct 20 14:09 .
drwxrwx--- 14 root users 4096 Oct 12 08:57 ..

If I change the owner of this felix directory to someone else and log on
with my 2k machine, Windows actually displays some error message that
goes like
"Das servergespeicherte Benutzerprofil wurde nicht geladen. Sie werden
mit einem lokalen ..."
So at least he is trying to use the right directory. Yet I have still no
idea why I can't change things like the active desktop (I switch it on,
press ok, reopen the window and it's switched off already again) at all.
ACLs might be the next step, but first I need to get those user profiles
to work somehow. :)
Greetings from Munich
Felix
P.S.: Mac, there's an old ATI card in the 2k machine, so the problem
should'nt be because of an NVIDIA driver. But thanks for your suggestion. :)
