hi all,
I am just started to setting up a samba PDC at our office.MY problem is my xp client is logging in to server but not loading the profile.its booting with tmp profile and what ever the changes i do in that profile.its not updating that in the server.

and my client.log file is showing following error.
'/home/user4' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [user4] Error was Permission denied

i gave full right to /home/user4.But still its giving this error.

user4 is given same password for linux and samba.

how can i add a profile of user to smb pdc?

i am doing it in RHEL 5.0

Samba version is 3

any help?

thanks & regards

Did you share home directory (profile)in samba?

this is how my profile part is configured.

[Profiles]
path = /usr/local/samba/profiles
read only = No
store dos attributes = Yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
browseable = no
guest ok = no
printable = no
hide files = /desktop.ini/outlook*.lnk/*Briefcase*/
valid users = root user3 user4

and netlogon is setup as looks below

[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
share modes = no
valid users = root user3 user4


thanks

one more thing is do i need to manually add user name to the file /etc/samba/smbusers ?
because its listing only the following

root = administrator admin
nobody = guest pcguest smbguest
