[Samba] Profiles and PDC

[Jonathan Knight]

We have severla samba servers which we've just tried to upgrade to using the
domain based security.

Most things seem to be fine but there is one problem which is causing some
trouble.

Roaming profiles are decalred on the PDC to be:

          logon path = \\ufs.%G\%U\Profiles

which resolves to a folder called Profiles in the users home directory.
The server ufs.%G is not the same server as the PDC.  When we try to log in
we get a message telling us that there is a security problem with the
Roaming profile and it refuses to download.  However the folder "Profiles"
does get created on the users home directory.  In the samba log files we get
the error:

  rm43pc066-kopen (160.5.100.2) signed connect to service csa01 initially as user csa01 (uid=732, gid=426) (pid 31918)
[2004/09/29 18:03:11, 0] smbd/posix_acls.c:create_canon_ace_lists(1385)
  create_canon_ace_lists: unable to map SID S-1-5-21-1129199182-1858052969-2540920885-2464 to uid or gid.

However once logged in we can browse and play with the folder with no
problem.

We're running samba 3.0.7 on fedora-2 with acl support.


Using %N/Profiles/%U as the logon path works fine but we want the profiles
to be in the users home directory and not on the PDC.
