Many problems result in this message. One is you need a [profiles] share with a subdir named after each user. That user needs to have full access to it, for example 0700, belongs to user:users. You also need a [netlogon] share even if you don't use it. Try this scheme: [global] .... logon path = \\samba-srv\profiles\%U .... [netlogon] path = /some-existing-path/netlogon write list = ntadmin browseable = No [profiles] path = /some-existing-path/profiles valid users = %U read only = No browseable = No inherit permissions = No Sometimes an already existing profile is the problem. Try removing it (save it first for reference) and logging in afresh. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
