Hi,
I 've had a long day fighting with Samba and am ready now to throw myself
off a building, so I apologize in advance for any obvious missing
details in my description below.
I have setup RHEL AS 3 with the stock samba package (samba-3.0.0-14.3E)
and a fresh install of Windows 2000 Pro. I am attempting to setup
roaming profiles and I 'm not having the greatest luck. Please see my
smb.conf attached.
When I log in to the W2k workstation, it authenticates fine, but when it
tries to pull down the profile, Windows says:
Windows cannot locate your roaming profile and is attempting to
log you in with your local profile. Changes to the profile will
not be propagated to the server.
DETAIL - The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is
incorrect.
The kicker is that if I fetch samba-2.2.8 and compile it myself, feed it
the exact same smb.conf, it works like a charm. So clearly I 'm either
missing some option needed for samba 3.0 and roaming profiles, or samba
3.0 is simply just broken.
The profile directory (/var/lib/samba/profile/proto) and all the files
under it are world writable, to rule out any unix permissions issues.
Also attached is the log excerpt (with debug level 3) between the time I
authenticate and the W2K client gives me the above error.
I 'll run 2.2.8 on this server if I have to, but I 'd much rather stick
with stock RHEL packages as much as possible. Desperately seeking
advice. :)
Thanks,
Jason.
