Hi Thierry,

With the jaunty samba the failure mode was shown by the inability of
the windows client to download the user's windows profile.

On a WindowsXP client, when the user HOME.LAN\thomas logged in he was
shown a popup warning about unavailable roaming profile and a
temporary profile was created.   In the windows event log the
following details were shown.

	  Event Type:	Error
	  Event Source:	Userenv
	  Event Category: None
	  Event ID:	1506
	  Date: 		9/07/2009
	  Time:		9:28:06 AM
	  User:		HOME.LAN\thomas
	  Computer:	PUTTE
	  Description:
	  Your roaming profile is not available. You are logged on with the
	  locally stored profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to
	  the server. Possible causes of this error include network problems or
	  insufficient security rights. If this problem persists, contact your
	  network administrator. 

	   DETAIL - Access is denied.

	    For more information, see Help and Support Center at
	     http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Checking the samba server logs at the same time shows nothing unusual:

	 [2009/07/09 09:48:11,  1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1111)
	   tbird (192.168.1.5) connect to service profile initially as user thomas (uid=1003, gid=1003) (pid 937)
	 [2009/07/09 09:48:46,  1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(1323)
	   tbird (192.168.1.5) closed connection to service profile

	 [2009/07/09 09:48:46,  1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1111)
	   tbird (192.168.1.5) connect to service thomas initially as user thomas (uid=1003, gid=1003) (pid 940)
	 [2009/07/09 09:48:51,  1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1111)
	   tbird (192.168.1.5) connect to service profile initially as user thomas (uid=1003, gid=1003) (pid 940)

The samba server is the PDC for the HOME.LAN domain.  

HOME.LAN\thomas is a non priveleged user

		Z:\>net user /domain thomas
		The request will be processed at a domain controller for domain HOME.LAN.

		User name                    thomas
		Full Name                    Thomas Hannon
		Comment
		User's comment
		Country code                 000 (System Default)
		Account active               Yes
		Account expires              Never

		Password last set            2/18/2009 7:05 AM
		Password expires             Never
		Password changeable          2/18/2009 7:05 AM
		Password required            Yes
		User may change password     Yes

		Workstations allowed         All
		Logon script                 thomas.bat
		User profile                 \\hal\profile\thomas\.WinXP
		Home directory               \\hal\profile\thomas\.WinXP
		Last logon                   Never

		Logon hours allowed          All

		Local Group Memberships
		Global Group memberships     *Domain Users
		The command completed successfully.

To test this scenario remove the roaming profile completely from a
windows client and attempt a login.

Regards/Mark

Subject: [Bug 397699] Re: samba fixes for roaming profiles introduce regressions

I'm not sure the specific "map readonly" fix is the cause of the issue.

Could you be more precise on how the configuration started to fail ?
What specific errors you get ? Any sure way to reproduce the issue ?
Anything showing in the samba log files ?

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
