yeah, i did check the profile's perms. No name still the same - I did however upgrade the samba version to .2.8a - It started before this though - the closest event I can think of was upgrading the linux box from redhat 7.1 to redhat 8.0 which I think upgraded samba to 2.2.5.
look at 'smbstatus -b' for your version check, if there's different versions of files on your machine (smbd,nmbd). what does the logscripts say?
is the problem on a special machine or is it on a special user?

I managed to delete the temporary cached profile on one of the windows

but when I now log onto that machine with the user in question if get:
Windows cannot log you on because the profile cannot be loaded. Contact your network administrator DETAIL - Access denied
- chown user and chmod 0700 -R on the users profile on the server ? - did u change the netbios name of the server? - which smb version u are running now?
I haven't tried w2k sp4 yet - downloading now but what bugs me is that it did work before and only gave me problems from time to time - now it constantly does it!
any ideas?

hi andre see below for my comments.

Hi all.
I'm runnig samba as a DC with win2k clients using roaming profiles.
Since installation I have been experiencing problems with users unable to log in due to their profiles not loading - some users are on w2k prof end some use w2k terminal services.
It maily complains about not being able to load (or copy) files like "prf23.tmp" - access denied etc.
Most of the time if I delete the file in question in eg. "profiledir/Nethood", "profiledir/Application
Data/Microsoft/Office/Recent"
en when I log on again it works.
It now started the profile cannot be loaded bacause some file cannot be copied and when I go delete the file in the profile dir in the samba box
and
try again as usual it still tells me that the profile "cannot be loaded - logging you in with a temporary profile" - when I click OK a box just pops up saying "profile cannot be loaded - access denied".
This seems to be entirely random - different client machines and terminal servers and different user accounts every time. Sometimes I have to
restart
the w2k terminal server for the problem to go away and sometimes I have to restart smb on the linux box. This always only fixes some of the users' logins but others can't log in again - it also only lasts for about 3
hours
that were back when we started.
Sometimes I have to completely delete a user's profile and log into w2k
for
it to be recreated before it works again.
I also noticed than if I try to delete the temporary copy of the user's profile in "Documents and Settings" just after I got the problem I get "Access Denied" or "Cannot delete, directory not empty" messages from windows. When this happens, changing the permissions or ever changing the
this is the problem... your client-side copy is damaged. u *must* get ownership for the broken files as administrator, then u can correct the rights. this u have to do with *every* broken file. (sh.. i know...)
we had the same problems. for me it seems, that it's a w2k problem. especially therefore, that ms has corrected such failures in sp4.
as far as we used samba 2.2.2 we used the switch NT ACL SUPPORT = no in smb.conf for the profile share to prevent us from this issue.
in samba 2.2.8a all is running fine without this switch. but we've allready installed sp4 on *all* our w2k clients.
files' ownership to Administrator does not help - I have to restart the machine completely.
restarting the client helps?
I was originally runnig samba 2.2.1a and tried upgrading to 2.2.3, 2.2.5
and
this morning to 2.2.8a. I also upgraded from redhat 6 to 7 to 7.1 and
last
week to 8.0 but this does not make any difference. I've tried service
pack
2 and 3 on the w2k boxes but to 4 - some of my software does not work when
4
is loaded.
i've only checked this two configurations:
samba 2.2.2 with 'NT ACL SUPPORT = no' on the profile share w2k sp2 and sp3
samba 2.2.8a *without* 'NT ACL SUPPORT = no' on the profile share w2k sp4 ('NT ACL SUPPORT = no' was not running in this case, but i can't remind the symptoms.)
i hope it helped. - let me know gk
Any ideas?
