Read through this thread:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2010-May/156130.html
and see if anything in there helps. Note, use "sort by subject" and
read all entries in the thread, the thread links do not always find all
thread entries.
Relevant parts of my smb.conf:
logon script = scripts\everybody.bat
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a
domain logons = Yes
os level = 64
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
dns proxy = No
ldap ssl = no
csc policy = disable
hide files = /desktop.ini/Desktop.ini/
[netlogon]
comment = Contains login script which just mounts PDB area
path = /u1/usr/netlogon
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
browsable = No
[profiles]
comment = user's profile directories, by windows version
path = /u1/usr/profiles
read only = No
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
browsable = No
profile acls = Yes
Home directories are in /u1/usr/people, profiles are in
/u1/usr/profiles. For reasons I do not recall the file protections are
a little odd in profiles:
ls -al profiles #edited to just show one user entry
total 16
drwxr-xrwx 4 root root 4096 2010-05-27 09:48 ./
drwxrwxr-x 5 root root 4096 2010-05-12 15:32 ../
drwx------ 4 mathog biostaff 4096 2010-05-27 15:12 mathog/
My everybody.bat file is irrelevant to your problem, all it does is
mount a data directory from the samba server. However, if you have a
script in there it could conceivably be causing problems if it causes
errors.
