Gentlemen, > > - Whether we need to use a separate [profiles] share Why, the current setup in 5.1 seems to work beautifully!!! Well, more accurately it works well with Win NT and Win 2000 clients. I don't have any win 9x clients to test with.

I've tried to nail down Samba documentation that explains this clearly, but couldn't find it. Given the lack of solid docs, I'll detail my empirical knowledge. I believe that the profiles directory either needs to be owned by root:domainusersgroup, user:usergroup, or user:domainusergroup. For example: drwxrwsr-x 4 root shared 4096 Nov 29 11:44 profiles , drwxrwsr-x 4 greg greg 4096 Nov 29 11:44 profiles , and drwxrwsr-x 4 greg shared 4096 Nov 29 11:44 profiles work!! However, drwxrwsr-x 4 admin admin 4096 Nov 29 11:44 profiles , drwxrwsr-x 4 root admin 4096 Nov 29 11:44 profiles , and drwxrwsr-x 4 admin shared 4096 Nov 29 11:44 profiles do not!!
