RE: [Samba] Problem Using Windows XP Pro w/Samba

[Rob MacGregor]

From: Patrick Shoaf [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tried today to setup WinXP Pro to logon to my Linux Domain Server running 
RedHat Enterprise 2.1 with samba version 2.2.8a.  WinXP is complaining it 
can not locate the domain server or is unable to authenticate with the 
server.  Everything is working fine for Win9x, Win2k, and WinNT systems.  
When setting up the XP system it was able to connect and create a system 
account (jeff-system).

Can anyone point me to where/how to identify and solve the problem?
AFAIK the details are in the documentation, however...

In the Local Security Policy, under Security Options ensure you set the 
Domain Member: Digitally sign... (always) options to disabled.

You can find details by trawling for sign or seal xp on google.

 Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.

[Samba] Upgraded from 2.2.7a to 3.0.0 - funny with roaming profiles

[Rob MacGregor]

Well, I did a test install of 3.0.0 today (different base from the old 
2.2.7a incase it all went wrong).  Everything seems to work (minor glitch 
failing to read the documentation carefully enough), but the roaming 
profiles appear to be broken.

What I'm seeing is that the profile isn't loaded and a vaguely default 
profile is provided instead.  I'm not seeing any error messages though, 
which is odd.  If somebody could run a quick eye over the (snipped) smb.conf 
I'd be grateful.  I'm probably missing something obvious, but it's late and 
I've read the file too many times to spot it:

[global]
---SNIP---
logon script = logon.cmd
logon path = \\%N\Profiles\%U
logon drive = H:
logon home = \\archie\%u
domain logons = Yes
[profiles]
path = /disk2/home/profiles
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
profile acls = Yes
Incase it matters the client is WindowsXP, SP1 (happily working in the 
domain hosted by 2.2.7a) and samba is running on Mandrake 9.1, stock 
Mandrake 2.4.20 kernel.

TIA
