For me, the primary benefit of SWAT in Samba3 was the ability to use the help link for any parameter to see what that parameter did, what the default was, and what its proper syntax was. For reference, I ran man smb.conf. Viewing full screen, I pressed the Page Down key 34 times and was still in the 1st third of the alphabetical listing of parameters. It's no small wonder that I never used man smb.conf to configure Samba. SWAT was my friend. So, if Samba4 has anywhere near the number of parameters as Samba3, I would be greatly disappointed to see SWAT go away entirely. An html version of the samba-doc package that contained all parameters with links to their definitions/descriptions would be a welcome and suitable replacement.

A different user had the following today: - She created a file on the Samba share (same 3.6.18 server) - But it wasn't visible from a different PC - After about 3h it was suddenly visible without any changes. The problem wasn't reproducable on both machines a second time. We have this problem too. Samba 3.6.18 on Gentoo, W7-64-Workstations. A scanner puts his output on the samba server, but it's not visible for the W7-Clients. A couple of minutes later it's visible. Refreshing Explorer by pressing F5 doesnt help. Same effect happens, if user A renames a file. User B sees the old filename, and few minutes later it's okay. I think, this is reproducible.

All comments below will assume a Windows 7 client, and Redirected Folders configured per the defaults. On a local and *reliable* network, you can use folder redirection *without* Offline Files. I did it and it works. No network is 100% reliable. Things break. This is I imagine why the default behavior is to cache Redirected Folders on the local clients. I prefer less headaches if/when they do, so this default makes sense to me. What you describe is the behavior of normal *roaming profiles*. No... you can use a combination of roaming profiles and redirected folders for the best result, which is what I do. That's precisely what I was advocating. Please read my posts. Oh, I did, but you were claiming that Redirected Folders were not stored locally, which is plain *wrong* unless you have intentionally *changed* the *default* behavior of Redirected Folders, which is to cache everything on the local client and keep things synchronized in the background. The stuff in the roaming profiles (very little) is copied back/forth at login/out, the stuff in t he redirected folders is *synchronized* at all times using the Offline Files technology that has long existed in Microsofts products. Maybe you were not very clear in your first post. You said the following: Folder Redirection will always (...) store local cached copy of those folders on the local computer... what it accomplishes is it saves all of the copying back and forth when logging in/out. which is not true. Even with Offline Files, only the files you are working with will be synchronized back and forth. The redirected folders themselves and the files previously stored therein will not be transferred to the client machine. Wrong, again. The *first* time a user logs in to a different computer, the contents will be copied down to the local computers cache - *in the background* (so it doesn't slow down the logon like it does with XP). Apparently you didn't bother to read the rest of that article at the link I referenced, so here is all of the pertinent info - you'll see that Redirected Folders indeed *does* store *everything* in a local cache, only copies everything down at logon the *first* time the user logs in on a particular computer (but does so in the background), and that it synchronizes changes as they are made *in the background*, not at logoff: Folder Redirection improvements in Windows 7 The Folder Redirection feature in the Windows operating system allows administrators to redirect user folders such as Documents, Pictures, or Music to shared folders that are hosted on servers. Folder Redirection is used in conjunction with the Offline Files technology to ensure that the user’s data is available when the network connection to the server that is hosting a redirected folder becomes latent or unavailable. When the network connection is slow or unavailable, Offline Files routes requests for the user folders that are stored on the server to the local computer cache. Users read and write from their local cache. Offline Files synchronizes new and changed files and folders from the local computer cache to the server when the network becomes available or in the background when the connection is slow. The first time a user logs on, Offline Files moves all files and folders from their current location to the local cache. Then, Offline Files synchronizes the data from the local cache with the redirected user folder on the server. The user is blocked from logging on to the computer during this task. In earlier versions of the Windows operating system, redirected user folders that contained large amounts of data or a large number of files and folders could cause delays with the user logon process, increasing the time before the user could reach the desktop. This delay could become significant when the network connection between the user’s computer and the server was slow, because the Windows operating system did not present the user’s desktop until the file synchronization between the client and server completed.

Maybe because it is not a simple copy... it has to compare all of the files in the local copy of the profile to what is contained in the remote stored profile... so it would be the comparison process that causes it to be slower.

The special case for using winbind is when, using Samba as the PDC, you wish to insist that a username/password pair from a system not a domain member is not authenticated even if the username/password pair matches that of a domain user (maybe more correctly to state that the domain part is missing from the supplied credentials). Note that generally with a pure Windows network and a Windows NT4 PDC, as well as Windows in general (peer to peer), matching username/password credentials are enough to authenticate, so using winbind in this situation creates an environment more restrictive then generally expected.
