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. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Checking the samba server logs at the same time shows nothing unusual: [2009/07/09 09:48:11, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1111) tbird (192.168.1.5) connect to service profile initially as user thomas (uid=1003, gid=1003) (pid 937) [2009/07/09 09:48:46, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(1323) tbird (192.168.1.5) closed connection to service profile [2009/07/09 09:48:46, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1111) tbird (192.168.1.5) connect to service netlogon initially as user thomas (uid=1003, gid=1003) (pid 940) [2009/07/09 09:48:46, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1111) tbird (192.168.1.5) connect to service thomas initially as user thomas (uid=1003, gid=1003) (pid 940) [2009/07/09 09:48:51, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1111) tbird (192.168.1.5) connect to service profile initially as user thomas (uid=1003, gid=1003) (pid 940) The samba server is the PDC for the HOME.LAN domain.

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

Could you be more precise on how the configuration started to fail ? What specific errors you get ? Any sure way to reproduce the issue ?
