Hello,
i upgraded debian from lenny to squeeze and i managed to mess up config file or update (cuz i'm quite noob when it comes to linux). I'm gonna try to explain best to my abillity, how i got where i am right now (bear in mind that this is my first time in this list). Since smbpasswd and pdbedit had mysteriously vanished after upgrade, i did reinstall to samba (3.5.6 PDC with roaming profiles). Since i did backup of entire /etc folder i put the old smb.conf back, but what happened was that nobody was able to log in (from xp). So what i had to do, was leave and rejoin the domain with all of the computers. After that it appeared that i had to input everyone's password again. Then some people were able to log in and others were not.... after a bit of research i found out that those people that couldn't log in had "special" (estonian) characters in their name (like äöüõ or šž etc), so i added "unix charset = UTF8" to the smb.conf and it seemed to work (later replaced UTF8 with ISO-8859-15 and it still worked).

The problem i'm having, is that when I (or anybody else) logs into xp machine with roaming profile, the default keyboard layout is set to US and they can't change it (but that might be because of gpedit policies i set up in xp machines). When i log in with local user (to xp) then keyboard is fine. I did try to find solution on the internet, but the posts i found about this problem were without answers. Any kind of help is appriciated


With regards,
Kalev
