Samba 3.3.2 running as a domain master on an Ubuntu Server box. We're using roaming profiles with appropriate redirection.
This behaviour is being seen on a Windows XP Pro workstation joined to the server's domain. We're pretty happy except that My Network Places is behaving differently than one would expect for a Windows box. If a user creates a new network place, everything is fine, and it works exactly as one would expect...until they log out. After logging back in, the network place appears as a regular folder that contains a shortcut (named "target") and "Desktop.ini", which is hidden. The short-cut works, so this isn't show-stopper, but it is jarring for anyone expecting the regular Windows behaviour to have to go through that additional level. I've tried messing around with the profiles share, changing the create mask and directory mask, and disabling/enabling redirection to a partition with ACL support. Nothing that has the profile stored on the server has worked for me. I've searched the archive and only found one mention of this problem back in 2004, but no solution. Any suggestions? I've appended the profile section of my smb.conf below. It's pretty basic.
