The netlogon doesn't have permissions listed but profiles does; it seems the group name of the directory was mostly the issue (root): [Profiles] path = /home/e-smith/files/samba/profiles writeable = yes browseable = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 csc policy = disable hide files = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/ [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon guest ok = yes writable = yes browseable = no SME server uses a bunch of templates and has a system for building the smb.conf file that I'm still learning how to use such as: db configuration setprop smb RecycleBin enabled db configuration setprop smb KeepVersions enabled signal-event group-modify shared signal-event group-modify domain-admins signal-event group-modify domain-users I really hate using a bleeding edge version but I'll make it work :) JD On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 12:39, Eric Shubert wrote: > What are the permissions in your smb.conf file? > > (check logon path and [Profiles] in particular) > >
