Hi Erik,
let me first thank you for your reply. I at first had an problem with permissions here that prevented my logon.bat from beeing executed (the directory it was in missed an X to be readable my the group "users"), but this still does not fix the profiles problem... I think the permissions there should be right:
pdc:/samba/profile# ls -la drwxrwx--- 14 root users 4096 Oct 12 08:57 . drwxrwx--- 5 root users 4096 May 13 13:33 .. drwxr-x--- 13 felix users 4096 Oct 20 14:09 felix pdc:/samba/profile#
pdc:/samba/profile/felix# ls -la total 272 drwxr-x--- 13 felix users 4096 Oct 20 14:09 . drwxrwx--- 14 root users 4096 Oct 12 08:57 .. drwxrwxrwx 4 felix users 4096 Oct 12 09:15 Anwendungsdaten drwxrwxrwx 2 felix users 4096 Oct 20 10:22 Cookies drwxrwxrwx 2 felix users 4096 Oct 20 14:09 Desktop drwxrwxrwx 2 felix users 4096 Oct 12 09:15 Druckumgebung drwxrwxrwx 3 felix users 4096 Oct 12 09:15 Eigene Dateien drwxrwxrwx 4 felix users 4096 Oct 12 09:15 Favoriten -rwxrw-rw- 1 felix users 212992 Oct 20 14:10 NTUSER.DAT drwxrwxrwx 2 felix users 4096 Oct 12 09:15 Netzwerkumgebung drwxrwxrwx 2 felix users 4096 Oct 12 09:15 Recent drwxrwxrwx 2 felix users 4096 Oct 12 09:15 SendTo drwxrwxrwx 3 felix users 4096 Oct 12 09:15 Startmen?? drwxrwxrwx 2 felix users 4096 Oct 12 09:15 Vorlagen -rwxrw-rw- 1 felix users 1024 Oct 20 14:10 ntuser.dat.LOG -rw-rw-rw- 1 felix users 192 Oct 20 14:09 ntuser.ini pdc:/samba/profile/felix#
If I change the owner of this felix directory to someone else and log on with my 2k machine, Windows actually displays some error message that goes like
"Das servergespeicherte Benutzerprofil wurde nicht geladen. Sie werden mit einem lokalen ..."
So at least he is trying to use the right directory. Yet I have still no idea why I can't change things like the active desktop (I switch it on, press ok, reopen the window and it's switched off already again) at all.
ACLs might be the next step, but first I need to get those user profiles to work somehow. :)
Greetings from Munich

P.S.: Mac, there's an old ATI card in the 2k machine, so the problem should'nt be because of an NVIDIA driver. But thanks for your suggestion. :)
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:-
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-September/092379.html
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.
