Can you provide before and after examples for a home directory.
Specifically, 'ls -lVd <homedir>' when things are working and also
when it is not working (before you reapply ACL).

Thanks,

Alan

I have an OpenSolaris server (snv_134) offering network storage via CIFS to a 
small pilot group for testing prior to a larger roll-out.

The server is a member of a MS AD and local Unix accounts are mapped explicitly 
on a one to one basis via idmap to their domain equivalents. The AD Domain 
Users group is mapped to a local Unix group also.

There is a single file system shared via smb with directories to host each 
users personal file space. The Unix ACL on each directory is such that only 
root and the necessary user account have the equivalent of Full Control, no 
other user accounts have access.

The CIFS connection to these directories happens automatically via the AD 
HomeDir attribute each time the user logs on and permissions seem fine. This 
bit never fails. Also, mapping through the command prompt using the UNC path 
works every time.

My issues is that when the users log onto a Citrix Desktop and attempt to load 
their Terminal Service Profile (stored in a sub-directory of their personal 
file space), they often get the error “Windows cannot find the local profile 
and is logging you on with a temporary profile”. Their automatic personal file 
space drive mapping is always there.
The properties of the share are as follows…
zfs
     zfs/pstaff/home smb=()
          /pstaff/home
                  home=/pstaff/home  smb=(csc="disabled" abe="true" 
guestok="false")

This error is returned immediately – there is no apparent delay while the 
Citrix server attempts to resolve\load the profile from the UNC path which led 
me to suspect that permissions were behind this.

If I get the user to log off and then I reapply the ACLs of their personal file 
space using chmod then they can then log straight back on successfully without 
this profile issue.

The user can then log on/off without the profile issues reoccurring unless they 
wait a few hours in between and then it reappears e.g. each morning.

I need to apply this ‘fix’ individually to each user when they get this issue.

It almost as if the idmap for the individual is lost however, that appears to 
be contradicted by the fact that their conventional mapping and ACLs are always 
there and correct.

Does anyone have any ideas since the profiles are obviously fine?

That’s for taking the time.

Michael
