[Samba] Windows XP SP2 on a Samba 3.0.10 PDC - roaming profiles won't work

[Thomas Skyt]

Hi All,

I am having some trouble getting Windows XP with SP2 connected to a 
Samba 3.0.10-based domain controller. With SP1, I only had to change a 
single registry key to prevent Windows from demanding a signed 
connection, then it worked.
But with SP2, and the same samba-configuration, I have noticed that upon 
log-off, the user's profile is updated by the user "root" of the group 
"users", effectively preventing the real user from accessing the data on 
the next logon (since I employ user-only access restrictions for the 
profiles-subdirectories).

I have tried forcing other create-modes, (world-read- and writable), but 
Windows still refuses to read the profile and tells me, that a temporary 
local profile has been used instead.

Does anyone have any idea as to what the reasons for this mis-behaviour 
may be? The local "Windows firewall" has been deactivated, thus that 
should not be the problem.
