unfortunately I don't have any thing to add.( and that kills my chance to be contribute :-( )
In fact the howto is reach enough. Just have to try some alternatives. for example 1) creating machine trust account: here we can do it in two ways 1) automatically(I.e. by script) or 2) manually ( I.e. issue command for every machine) in case of first one, adding a command in smb.conf file will create an account for every machine connects it. However, it did not work in my case, so I had to go for manual setting of machine accounts. secondly in smb.conf file, how to shows that the parameters logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U logon drive = K: logon home = \\homeserver\%U this did not work, but in the same howto, somewhere later (8.8.2. Configuration Instructions: Setting up Roaming User Profiles) it says "The default for logon path is \\%N\%U\profile, namely \\sambaserver\username\profile. The \\N%\%U service is created automatically by the [homes] service. If you are using a samba server for the profiles, you _must_ make the share specified in the logon path browse. " So I selected that alternative , and set above parameters to logon path = \\%N\\%U\profile logon drive = K: logon home = \\%N\%U (I could figure out from this that, %N shows the name of smb server and %U is the username) and things started to work. I read Chapter 8. How to Configure Samba 2.2 as a Primary Domain Controller the url for this is http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#SAMBA-PDC HTH Now there is only one problem, users are not able to do some administrative task, for example change the dns, create outlook profiles, etc.. -kvs ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shridhar Daithankar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "kvs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "linux help" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2001 12:48 PM Subject: Re: [LIH] how to setup a roaming profile in linux login server. > No way..
