I'm finding that roaming profiles are not being created on the server
and when a user logons, they are getting temporary profiles.

The logs dont mention any obvious errors and in the directory I have
set aside for profiles, a folder for the user is created, but nothing
is put there.

Running CentOS 5 with samba 3.0.33

Hi
You don't say which Windows but when permissions are OK, try deleting
the profile. In w7, it's at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion
\ProfileList

Ahh that did it. The CentralProfile value was from a previous server
layout and thus it couldn't find the profile location anymore.

Interesting,

Sorry for breaking in on this thread, but I just wanted to say.
Thank you for the registry tip, it solved a problem for me that was
driving me nuts.
