copied to the server. Possible causes of
this error include network problems or
insufficient security rights. If this problem
persists, contact your network
administrator.

I can only reiterate Alexandre. I am running Fedora core 11 and all of a
sudden, on 14th October, samba stop working. I looked all over the
internet and could not find a solution until I came here. I had the same
error when running testparm.

I ran yum update libtalloc and it resolved the problem. I can only
assume that there was a bug in an update that I picked up that date.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Title:
  [jaunty] samba 3.3.2 denies access to roaming profiles

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in samba source package in Jaunty:
  Fix Released
Status in samba package in Fedora:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  Faulty package = samba-2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3
  Working package = samba-2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3 (from intrepid)

  I recently upgraded my samba PDC from 8.10 to 9.04.  After this
  upgrade, roaming profiles which had been working for a number of years
  with this configuration started to fail.

  The windows clients complained of 'ACCESS DENIED' and permission
  problems.

  Reviewing the changelog for samba I noted that 3.3.2 introduced a fix:
    * debian/patches/fix-upstream-bug-6186.patch: Fix for data loss
      with roaming profiles. (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6186) 

  I reverted to the samba version from intrepid and roaming profiles are
  working again.

  Further information:

  From smb.conf:

          [profile]
  	comment = Windows User profiles
  	path = /home
  	read only = no
  	profile acls = Yes
  	create mask = 0600
  	directory mask = 0700
  	browseable = No

  I store my profiles under the user $HOME as ~/.WinXP or ~/.Vista.V2
  depending upon the client version.
