Re: [Samba] Re: XP logon failure but still logs on -- no roamingprofile
Okay. I guess the next thing to do is try with a fresh installation and then see if it occurs again as elements get added. our setup... xp-pro (pre sp1) and office2k, local profiles only, sign-or-seal; no problems so far. I didn't have any troubles with local profiles either. My hope was to set up all the Windoze boxes like the unix ones which would allow everyone to log in to any machine and get their standard account (though with a speed penalty since the home directory would be mounted over the network instead of on the local drive). We don't have that now on the Win98 boxes and doesn't seem to be much of a problem, but I'd like to try... Thanks. I've noticed that XP has provisions for requiring passwords to be changed, but didn't look in to it at all. Perhaps a small script which sets the necessary registry entries? I'm trying to generate more interest in using already builtin Xp policy options/features. Why re-invent the wheel? Have you been following this thread? comments?... Re: [Samba] gpedit.msc as centralized policy for 2k/xp clients I'm afraid it's all pretty much Greek to me. I have very little understanding of how group policies work.

Re: [Samba] Re: XP logon failure but still logs on -- no roamingprofile
Brian, Did you try a plain and simple logon.bat first, like - @ECHO OFF NET USE X: \\share\tmp /persistent:no - just to make sure your logon.bat isn't faulty ? You could even use a logoff.bat (net use * /delete ...) if you suspect the mapped drives to cause the errors. net use o: \\share\office2000p /persistent:no /yes Wonder what's the /yes switch for, doesn't seem to be documented in the XP net use manual page (?) net time \\share /set /yes At least on Win2k workstations your users need power user privileges to change or set time service settings. As local administrator do the following: - net stop w32time (in case the service is running) - net time /setsntp:192.168.x.x - net start w32time (and/or change service start type) Any errors or warnings in your workstations logs? The XP/Win2k profile issue has been discussed in recent threads, so we added nt acl support = No to stop local caching of roaming profiles in our Win2k only domain: [netlogon] comment = ... path = /usr/local/samba/netlogon root preexec = /usr/local/samba/scripts/genlogon.pl %u %g %m root postexec = /usr/local/samba/scripts/genlogoff.pl %u read only = No browseable = No guest ok = Yes locking = No [profile] comment = ... path = /profile/NT5 read only = No guest ok = No browseable = No # fix for Win2k = SP2: nt acl support = No # fix for XP = SP1: #csc policy = disable #share modes = No Good luck, Uli -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

hmmm..did you try running ...tcpdump -i eth0 ..on your samba box?
(assuming eth0 is samba lan interface?) then you can see what is
happening at the time..

Okay... Done. Below is the tcpdump from the time that I got the

about 240kB uncompressed (40kB compressed).

In this case, I counted 25 seconds before logging off since things seemed
to be running a bit slower (probably due to having the log level set to 20)
and didn't work the first time when I only waited 20 seconds. It might
be related to idle time on the network before beginning logout.
I correlated these times to the log.smbd file (4060kB uncompressed,
215kB compressed), which I've placed here:

[Samba] Re: XP logon failure but still logs on -- no roamingprofile
sorry I've deleted your original message... ahh maybe we need to start again. Could I suggest you follow the diagnostic procedure in the docs. From memory its diagnosis.txt ..its very logical and explains things as you go. Then we'll have something to go on. Attached is the original message I posted (including the links to the log file captures I made). From the Diagnosis File (everything looks good to me) ~~ Test1: no errors (one warning about some share names being longer than 8 characters) Test2: Both machines can ping the other (time=0.5ms). Test3: Anonymous login successful (no password). All shares are shown. The client can map and access all drives. Test4: Primary IP address of server is returned. The client sits on a second ethernet card and thus different subnet that the primary address, but this doesn't seem to make any difference. The server has no firewall rules and forwards all packets between interfaces. Test5: The client IP address is returned correctly. Test6: This did a broadcast test on the primary ethernet interface and thus received responses from the two servers (the local machine and one other) instead of a response from the client on the second ethernet subnet. I added a -B 10.0.3.63 (6 bit subnet) and then received a response from the client XP machine. Test7: Connection to tmp works with both anonymous (guest) login and for a real userid. Test8: The net view works when logged in to the XP client as me, but not when logged in as Administrator. It also worked when telnetting in to cygwin as root. Test9: Connection to \\BIGSERVER\TMP worked fine though I was not prompted for a password. I was able to create and delete a file from the mapped directory. Test10: The server was found as the master browser. Again, I had to add -B 10.0.3.63 to get it to look on the secondary ethernet. Test11: The XP client can browse the server and see shares. It sees it under My Network Places/Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network/precidia but I assmue this is correct. Also at the same level as the precidia domain is workgroup which is the workgroup (not domain) managed by the other server. Clicking on that shows no machines under that workgroup even though the other server knows about many. Brian ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) --- Tired of spam?
