Hello,
I have seemed to run into a snag and am wondering if any kind soul on here
has any thoughts of what the problem may be, I have roaming profiles setup
for a network of Windows XP Pro computers, using a domain controller. I am
currently using Samba 3 on SUSE LINUX 10.1 (i586) with the
2.6.16.21-0.25-bigsmp kernel, the following folders in the users profiles
are redirected for performance "Application DataDesktop My Documents
Favorites" . And these ones are not redirected "Cookies Local Settings
NetHood Recent SendTo Start Menu Templates ntuser.dat" .
The problem is before the summer everything was working fine and when I
came back after the summer Firefox will not start, unless you uninstall it
and reinstall it which is ok but it is a hassle for everyone to do and
clearly isn't a good fix. As far as I know nothing was changed on the
network. Has anyone else have this problem?
Here is the config file for samba.
[global]
# Set high for more informaion (9 max).
debug level = 9
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = NETBIOSNAME
# Server has multiple IP interfaces and belongs to different
# subnets. We only want to be a PDC for trafic comming from one
# subnet.
interfaces = a.b.c.d
bind interfaces only = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam:/etc/samba/passdb.tbd
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*Password* "%n\n" *New*Password* "%n\n" *changed*
unix password sync = Yes
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -s /bin/false -M
%u
logon path = \\netbiosname\profiles\%U
logon drive = P:
domain logons = Yes
os level = 33
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
ldap ssl = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directory
valid users = %S
read only = No
create mask = 0611
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
map hidden = Yes
map archive = Yes
map system = Yes
[profiles]
comment = Roaming Profiles for Windows
path = /var/lib/samba/profiles
read only = No
create mask = 0611
directory mask = 0700
profile acls = Yes
# hide files = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/
map hidden = Yes
map system = Yes
map archive = Yes
[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
guest ok = Yes
create mask = 0611
directory mask = 0700
map hidden = Yes
map system = Yes
map archive = Yes
If you have any thoughts or ideas I am eager to hear them, even pointing me
into a direction of what else to look for is good enough for me.
Thank you,
Travis
