Hi, I have an identical issue, hitting Win2K SP4, ever since upgrading to Debian Sarge. Here's an additional observation, and a workaround. We have roving profiles, and on any user logging in or out, Samba creates a profile directory called %u. That is, (for example) on logging out, instead of writing back to a directory called /home/samba_profiles/fred, it creates a new directory called /home/samba_profiles/%u, as though the variable substitution is simply not happening, and writes the profile back there. However, it doesn't appear to load this new profile (ie, it's not a security breach!) and when a user logs in, we just get the "Cannot locate your profile ..." alert. Anyway, I found a workaround. My Unix usernames are the same as my NT usernames. So I just changed %u to %U to see what happened, and the problem has gone away. I would guess that this'll give some big hints to anyone who is checking through the code! Cheers, Bill

This is actually how it is supposed to work. The %u requires an active connection to a share, but the domain logon happens outside any any given share. So the %u is not expanded when sent back the client in the NET_USER_INFO_3 structure (part of thje samlogon reply). cheers, jerry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDCkeNIR7qMdg1EfYRAigxAKDBFOm3QvfR16KOVBeeyDrCnMwBZwCfXyH8 o2fLJY+5o4Ech7ZdnUM5TLE=IBo3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
