Hello, having a problem upgrading a samba installation version 3.0.28 on a FreeBSD 7.x server. I use samba as a PDC with roaming profiles and user shares.
I have to upgrade it to allow Windows 7 Pro workstations to join the domain. I was able to build the binaries sucessfully and install them, everything ran OK, but.... I noticed that my smbpasswd file had I guess been relocated and I had to readd the PC's and users to the smbpasswd file (smbpasswd -a username, smbpassword -ma machinename), etc. I noticed that I had to have the PC's un-join and re-join the domain in order for them to work. I noticed that none of the local profiles loaded, instead creating a new roaming profile username.V2 in the profiles directory. (windows XP workstation continued to complain about using a local profile as the server copy was unavailable) In addition to this on the Windows 7 workstation I could not access the user share that I was logged into. So I undid my changes and went back to Samba 3.0.28 until I can figure these problems out.I have to figure out how not to have to re-add all of my users and PC's into smbpasswd, why roaming profiles wont work and what the access denined problem was about. My smb.conf file did seem to translate OK because all of my shares were available. What am I missing, did the smbpasswd directory change? is the old smbpasswd file from 3.0.28 not compatible with 3.6.0? what can I do? I dont want everyone to have to recreate their roaming profiles... there are about 50 users........... permissions problem? build/source/binary location problem? any suggestions welcome. help please, Thanks -- Louis Kabo [email protected] http://www.kaboserv.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
