Hi Felix,
your problem sounds familiar to me. Please check the permission in your profile directory.
Each active domain user needs a seperate directory with 750 as permission and the owner has to be
the domain user, e.g. "drwxr-x--- test users test". You also need the acl support to save the
extended file attributes of Win2k like security permissions. The acl's are not necessary to solve
your profiles problem.
If you use acls please make sure that your filesystem also support acl's. That's take me a while :-)
bye Erik

Hi,
I'm still sitting fighting with this problem here I mentioned a little while ago.
I'm running desperate on a problem with my windows user profiles here, searched the net and read the docus alot but still no luck.
I've got an running Samba domain, an existing windows 2000 machine can log into the domain properly. Furthermore, a test account is made aswell, and the 2k machine is able to log in with that account. Now, my problem is: When I try to change windows settings (like switch active desktop to "on") or delete/rename icons from my desktop, log out and in again, all changes are undone like they've been not saved on the server. But if I create new icons on the desktop and relog, those are still there.
This doesn't sound quite like the problem I had, but it's work checking.
This all starts here:-

and ends here:-

and basically it's to do with a bug in the Nvidia Display Driver Service. You can either disable the service ('startup - Manual') or upgrade the drivers to a version with the fix in them.
If this issue doesn't affect you, then I'm sorry.
