[Bug 521085] Re: Samba 3.4.0 denies access to Roaming Profiles for XP Clients

[Patrick Goetz]

I don't know if it's worth backporting 3.4.5 to Karmic.  In researching
this problem and talking to a number of windows sys admins it seems that
most samba server users have just given up on roaming profiles because
they can't get them to work.  It doesn't help that the XP Group Policy
settings (managed using gpedit.msc) don't seem to work as advertised, at
least not by my testing.  Add to that the agony of ironing out a problem
when local profile caching is turned on (i.e. the 3-reboot minimum).

Unfortunately, in an office with XP clients where people move around
there's not much alternative.  Well, save for re-installing all the
desktops with linux and running Windows apps using Virtualbox.  <:)
