That wasn't necessary, Aschley. It would have been better to just show us your smb.conf, not all the defaults that smbd would assume. But before a smart Alec quotes your whole posting all over again, here is what I think is wrong: > [global] > ................. > logon script = %U.bat > logon path = \\%L\etc\samba\profiles\%U > logon drive = > logon home = \\%N\%U > ................. > [homes] > comment = Home Directories > read only = No > browseable = No > > [netlogon] > comment = Network Logon Service > path = /etc/samba/netlogon > guest ok = Yes > share modes = No > > [profiles] > path = /etc/samba/profiles > read only = No > create mask = 0600 > directory mask = 0700 > browseable = No > csc policy = disable The profiles paths in [global] and in [profiles] are contradictory. The [profiles] path is OK if your profiles are on your samba server under /etc/samba/profiles. But the logon path in [global] should then be "\\%L\profiles\%U" because "profiles" is the share not "/etc/samba/profiles", which is just the path to it for samba to know what to export as share "profiles". The logon home is also ambiguous, unless your samba server is itself the NIS server. It would better be "\\%L\$U". > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/samba# ls -al > total 68 > drwxr-xr-x 5 0/0 4096 Sep 5 22:57 . > drwxr-xr-x 42 0/0 4096 Sep 4 14:20 .. > drwxrwxrwx 2 0/0 4096 Aug 6 09:27 netlogon > drwx------ 2 0/0 4096 Aug 6 09:29 private > drwxrwxrwx 2 0/0 4096 Sep 5 20:53 profiles > -rw-r--r-- 1 0/0 7201 Sep 5 20:52 smb.conf > -rw-r--r-- 1 0/0 9044 Mar 16 07:52 smb.conf-sample > -rw-r--r-- 1 0/0 23858 Aug 17 15:59 smb.conf.bak > -rw-r--r-- 1 0/0 4096 Sep 5 22:57 typescript You don't really want 777 perms for netlogn and profiles, 775 is OK if you don't mind everyone being able to know what users there are, 771 is much better, because it prevents everyone else from even finding out what users there are and still everyone can get his roaming profiles if you set proper perms on the individual subdirectories. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
