Dear List, This is my first post here, but yesterday I finally configured a full PDC with LDAP backend using Chapters 4 and 5 of the Samba Guide (exact same directory and shares setups just now). Very well written!
I am slowly getting the other things like printing and DNS added, but I wanted to confirm/ask a few things. When I first logged on I got complaints about not being able to create the *.pds and using a local profile only, so I moved from the Samba Guide to the Samba Howtos and read that the profiles need to be browseable. So I "su -" to a user and checked I could even get into my profile folder in the server, and I couldn't. I couldn't even get into /var/lib/samba. I have changed /var/lib/samba to 755 and profiles to 755 too. Is this right? My profiles are now working, but I am not sure if I have opened up things that I shouldn't have. At no point in the Samba Guide does is say what the permissions should be for profiles, so I guess this is only a Win2k issue? Also, can you point me to some documentation on guest account logins for the domain, so they can get onto the computer with a default guest profile? I go have a look in the Howto Online book again first though. Also, how does redirection work on Win2k, as I could only see instructions for XP and it looks like all the folders etc. have been saved in "profiles" rather than profdata obviously. Lastly, my logon.bat which sets the time and maps the app folder to I doesn't work. I saw yesterday that I might needs "scripts/logon.bat", but that doesn't work. I also made sure that it is in dos format using dos2unix (a perl oneliner actually). Thanks for your time, Paul. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
