Hi all..

I'm using Samba 3.0.2a on Mandrake 10, serving +/- 50 win98 clients.

I'm using this options:

logon path = \\%N\%U\profile
logon home =  \\%N\%U\profile

but the roaming profile seems do not working... at least the way that I want. (maybe this is the right behavior).
What I want:
-> When an user logins on MACHINE1 the profile that is saved in Linux begin download to MACHINE1
-> When this user logoff from MACHINE1 the profile must update on linux server
-> If this user logins on MACHINE2 the profile (updated) must be downloaded to MACHINE2


But is not happen like this. When the user logins for the first time on MACHINE1 a local profile is created using the "All users" folder (under \windows\profiles)

I'm not sure if the option " logon home = \\%N\%U\profile " tells Samba to do what I want.

Somone can help me ?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

It seems to me that your samba side parameters are good.
The logon path parameter won't be useful, it is only for win2k / winXP / NT clients.

ok. thank you


You should now check:
1- permissions of the profile directory (be sure your users can write that directory)

the permissions is right (700 with owner <user>.<user>
the users can export the profile from win98, my problem is that they can't import the roaming profile when make login in another machine...
I read in somewhere that win98 can't deal correctly with roaming profiles...
I wish to know if someone is working with win98 roaming profile, importing the profile when logins in the first time...


2- did you activate the use of profiles in the nethood properties of the win98se clients ?

yes...

3- Check the samba-howto, chapters 22 and 23, it covers most of the basics for profiles to work (win98 included).

I will... thank you


hope it helps
