Roaming profile with correct file attribs

[servisoft_mail@…]

Hi, samba´s roaming profiles do not mark system and hidden attrib on profile´s files. This generate erros in windows machines that use this resoure (like desktop.ini showing at startup) to fix it i plased:

map hidden = yes
map system = yes
create mask = <value+011>
directory mask = <value+011>

on smb.conf.mas and it is working.

Thanks

Can you tell us a bit more about this errors?

Yes, then...

Windows roaming profiles write files with hidden attrib (windows filesystem), when the session is closing, all profile is copied to
SERVER\PROFILES\USERNAME. If the same account is used in the same machine, there is not problem, because the files already exist in local profile dir. But, if this user open the account in annoter machine, all profile is copied back to the new machine, but, the system and hidden attrib of files not exist anymore because its are not mapped to unix attribs (there is other methods to maintain win attrib)

Here is an explanation:

 http://www.wikilearning.com/tutorial/usando_samba-permisos_de_ficheros_y_atributos_en_ms_dos_y_unix/9688-32

This generate a problem in the new machine that many system files files showed and in startup menu is executed desktop.ini that may be hidden.

Sorry my bad english

Thanks

This should be easily fixed editing stubs/smb.conf.mas and change:

[profiles]
 path = /home/samba/profiles
 read only = no
 create mask = 0600
 directory mask = 0700

to:

[profiles]
 path = /home/samba/profiles
 read only = no
 map hidden = yes
 map system = yes
 create mask = 0611
 directory mask = 0711

But we have to test it before commiting it into trunk.
