described problem for: samba 3.0.20, 3.0.12, 3.0.13, 3.0.14a latest tested release without described problem: 3.0.10 compiled on AIX5.X When login the Userprofile is transfered to client, but all directories and some files have the attribut "read-only" set. For test we can reset the attributes with 'attrib -r -a -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\*" /S /D'. But after logout/login we get the same behaviour. Maybe this report is related to Bugzilla Bug 2813?
please attach a gzipeed level 10 debug log for the transfer of the profile from the server to client.
This is due to the code in smbd/dosmode.c that sets attributes to read-only if the user doesn't have write access. Two fixes for this - if you have EA support on the filesystem, set smbd to store DOS attributes in them using : store dos attributes = yes and explicitly set the dos attributes on the profile files. Or secondly: set "acl check permissions = false". This is fixed in 3.0.21 which has a new parameter "map readonly" that can control this explicitly. Jeremy.
