Hello
I just upgraded from Fedora Core 2 (Samba 3.0.10) to Debian Sarge
(Samba 3.0.14). The Samba server is being used as a PDC with Roaming
Profiles for about 25-30 Windows XP clients. Before the upgrade
everything worked perfectly but afterwards I've had some minor issues
and been able to sort them out. However I have two remaining problems
and I've spent quite a bit of time on them without finding a solution.
I suspect that these two problems relate to one another but I'm not
sure.
The first problem is that I tried adding a computer to the domain
(rejoining), that worked just fine, but when I log on it seems that
Windows doesn't read the users registry from the profile. So any
settings like background, keyboard layouts, various things from the
Start menu, etc are not set. Windows does not complain about being
unable to read the users profile off the server.
The second problem is such that a user that has not been logged onto a
Windows XP machine before can't log on. If people log on to their own
machines (where their profile is available locally), that works just
fine. But a user which has not logged on before gets a message that
the username / password is not recognized.
I have checked and made sure that the users have the applicable
permissions on their profiles. I am using the same /etc/samba/* files
for samba as it was on the older setup, except I have added profile
acls to the [profiles] share/section. The server is using smbpasswd
and I will be switching over to ldap shortly, but I have to work out a
few issues concerning that before I can make the switch.
The smb.conf looks like this:
[global]
workgroup = JORDMIL
server string = Samba Server
password server = jordmil
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
log level = 3
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

[intra]

force create mode = 0775

If you can give me any hints or suggestions that would be of great help.
