I don't know if this is a Windows XP or a samba issue. And i don't know
if this is some beginner mistake i'm making, but i haven't been able to
find a cause or solution to my problem anywhere. I hope this post will
help me solve it.
I have 2 laptops running windows XP that use roaming profiles on my
local wireless lan. The strange thing is that the profiles won't
synchronise completely with the server copy when i log out. One example
is that i installed Mozilla Thunderbird as email client. I complely
configured it on one machine, logged out and logged in to the other one.
Then i had to start all over again configuring Thunderbird. Thunderbird
stores it's settings in the 'application data' folder of a profile.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
I'm running samba 2.2.5 on a SuSE 8.1 machine. The relevant parts of
smb.conf look like this:
[Global]
...
logon script = logon.bat
logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U
logon home = \\%N\profiles\%U\win9x #Ok, i know
this wasn't smart, ill change it later...
domain logons = Yes
os level = 100
preferred master = True
domain master = True
wins support = Yes
...
[profiles]
comment = Opslaglocatie voor roaming profiles
path = /home/profiles
valid users = @users
read only = No
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
root preexec = ln -sn %H/net/Private /home/private/%U
wide links = No
follow symlinks = No
Thanks in advance....
