Hi Thierry,

With the jaunty samba the failure mode was shown by the inability of
the windows client to download the user's windows profile.

On a WindowsXP client, when the user HOME.LAN\thomas logged in he was
shown a popup warning about unavailable roaming profile and a
temporary profile was created.   In the windows event log the
following details were shown.

          Event Type:   Error
          Event Source: Userenv
          Event Category: None
          Event ID:     1506
          Date:                 9/07/2009
          Time:         9:28:06 AM
          User:         HOME.LAN\thomas
          Computer:     PUTTE
          Description:
          Your roaming profile is not available. You are logged on with the
          locally stored profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to
          the server. Possible causes of this error include network problems or
          insufficient security rights. If this problem persists, contact your
          network administrator. 

           DETAIL - Access is denied.

Checking the samba server logs at the same time shows nothing unusual:

The samba server is the PDC for the HOME.LAN domain.

HOME.LAN\thomas is a non priveleged user

                Z:\>net user /domain thomas
                The request will be processed at a domain controller for domain 
HOME.LAN.

                The command completed successfully.

To test this scenario remove the roaming profile completely from a
windows client and attempt a login.

Subject: [Bug 397699] Re: samba fixes for roaming profiles introduce regressions

I'm not sure the specific "map readonly" fix is the cause of the issue.

Could you be more precise on how the configuration started to fail ?
What specific errors you get ? Any sure way to reproduce the issue ?
Anything showing in the samba log files ?

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
