Hi, I'm having a problem with the roaming profiles and windows xp.
The problem is that when a new user creates automatically a roaming profile and when he logs out the profile stay in the home dir. when he 'relogin' the 'desktop.ini' files stop working beacuse they are not 'hidden' anymore, and all the folders loss its propertis.
Why is that?? what is the solution????
You can only store so much information in the UNIX permissions. My solution was to activate extended attribute support and disable the old style attribute mapping:
ea support = yes map archived = no map hidden = no map system = no store dos attributes = yes
This way the system stores the DOS attributes in the extended attributes. You need to have a filesystem that supports extended attributes (e.g. ext3 & xfs) for this to work.
Depending on your distribution, you may have to recompile the kernel with extended attribute support turned on, and mount the filesystem with the extended attribute support option enabled. This is the only proper way to get this to work. It seemed to work out of the box with Fedora Core 2.
Keep in mind that once the desktop.ini files have been created, any tweaking you do to samba will not give them the proper attributes.
I recommend that you go to your profile dir (on Windows) and:
attrib +h +s desktop.ini /s
This will restore the proper attributes to desktop.ini in all subdirectories. If the desktop.ini still shows up, you may want start with a fresh profile if that is an option for you.
If, despite all your efforts you cannot get it to work, you can try mapping the "hidden" attribute to UNIX execute permissions:
map archived = no
map hidden = yes
map system = noDoing so will most likely cause most of your files to become invisible though :) But understand that you can only map _ONE_ attribute at a time with the old system!
