Hi Samba List Users,

I have a "Default User" folder directly in the [netlogon] share, and for some reason new users who don't already have a profile (such as when they logon for the first time) refuse to download it and use it as their baseline profile. Instead, they fall back on the "Default User" folder on the local machine, or they just can't log on and receive an error message if the "Default User" folder doesn't exist on the local machine.

If I login as root, he DOES download and use the profile, even though he receives a Windows error message right after giving his credentials that says something about "DETAIL - Access is denied." This has lead me to believe that the problem is permissions based, but I have done everything I can think of. I've done a "chmod -R 777" on the entire netlogon share, which naturally includes the "Default User" folder. I've also used the parameter "guest ok = yes" in the [netlogon] share config in smb.conf and even set "writable = yes" just for giggles. When I created the profile on my XP machine, I remembered to pick my domain name and allow "Everyone" to use the profile.

I've read every bit of documentation I can find on this subject, and I feel like I have a solid understanding of how I'm supposed to set it up and how it's supposed to work. Somehow it just... won't. Any suggestions?

Thanks everyone,
- SG
