</div>Dude, use Linux tools for this. Ubuntu and XP do not share the same uses<br>
for the profile. Anyway, a bit more info before I try helping you through.<br>

</div>Are you syncing the Samba user database with /etc/passwd? Do you use<br>
ldap as a backend for samba? Please provide a few more details of the<br>
PDC setup. Do you have security expectations like user A should not be<br>
able to touch user B's files, or user A and user C are part of a group<br>
and they have files that only they can touch?<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Again thanks for your time.<br>You mean to say that, where Samba is working as PDC, XP and Ubuntu are working as a client, users could not have the roaming profile, and they can not work seamlessly across any ubuntu and XP client.<br>
<br>Any way, my Samba is working over ebox 1.4, where ldap is working as backend for samba.<br>I don't have security exception, whereas user A can access to his home folder as well as public folder and same way user B.<br>
<br>I am looking for the linux tools (as you said) which will authenticate the user at the time of logon itself (like wise in XP).<br><br>regards<br>
