Hey all, please let's me know how to "Disable Samba Roaming profile"
In
OpenLDAP+SAMBA SERVER [r...@xxxxx ~]# testparmLoad smb config files
from
/etc/samba/smb.confProcessing section "[homes]"Global parameter server
signing found in service section!Global parameter server schannel
found in
service section!Processing section "[netlogon]"Processing section
"[Profiles]"WARNING: No path in service Profiles - making it
unavailable!NOTE:
Service Profiles is flagged unavailable.

OK, I have some N00b time.
First open in your favorite text editor smbldap.conf, and find the
bits that look like this:
##############################################################################
#
# SAMBA Configuration
#
##############################################################################
# The UNC path to home drives location (%U username substitution)
# Just set it to a null string if you want to use the smb.conf 'logon
home'
# directive and/or disable roaming profiles
# Ex: userSmbHome="\\PDC-SMB3\%U"
userSmbHome="\\<NetBIOS-ServerName or ip-addy>\<ShareName>"
# The UNC path to profiles locations (%U username substitution)
# Just set it to a null string if you want to use the smb.conf 'logon
path'
# directive and/or disable roaming profiles
# Ex: userProfile="\\camarillo\profiles\%U"
userProfile="\\<NetBIOS-ServerName or ip-addy>\<ProfileDirectory>\%U"
# The default Home Drive Letter mapping
# (will be automatically mapped at logon time if home directory exist)
# Ex: userHomeDrive="H:"
userHomeDrive="z:"
Make sure that the shares and paths you have make sense.
Now edit smb.conf in your favorite text editor, and find your shares
listings, and create something like this, that makes sense on your
system:
[Profiles]
path=/usr/home/sambashit/Profiles
public = yes
only guest = no
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0700
force create mode = 0700
force directory mode = 0700
directory security mask = 0700
level2 oplocks = Yes
OK. Now, simply mkdir the appropriate directories on your file
system, and set the perms on the folder to something like
chmod Administrator:Domain\ Users /usr/home/sambashit/Profiles <---
Do not go all recursive on this (no -R switch).
Now....If you prefer no roaming profiles, after doing the above, you
can edit smbldap.conf thusly:
# The UNC path to profiles locations (%U username substitution)
# Just set it to a null string if you want to use the smb.conf 'logon
path'
# directive and/or disable roaming profiles
# Ex: userProfile="\\camarillo\profiles\%U"
userProfile="\\%SystemDrive%\ %USERPROFILE%\%U"
see:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable>
for additional Windoze environment variables.
Of course, for existing users, you will need export and edit an .ldif
file for the user, use an ldap gui editor, or delete users created
prior to editing the above, and recreate the users.
Cheers,
TMS III
