+ networking support, use the "Selective Install for Networking"
+ object in the "System Setup" folder.</P
+><P
+>Adding the "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" driver is not described
+ in the manual and just barely in the online documentation. Start
+ MPTS.EXE, click on OK, click on "Configure LAPS" and click
+ on "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP" in 'Protocols'. This line
+ is then moved to 'Current Configuration'. Select that line,
+ click on "Change number" and increase it from 0 to 1. Save this
+ configuration.</P
+><P
+>If the Samba server(s) is not on your local subnet, you
+ can optionally add IP names and addresses of these servers
+ to the "Names List", or specify a WINS server ('NetBIOS
+ Nameserver' in IBM and RFC terminology). For Warp Connect you
+ may need to download an update for 'IBM Peer' to bring it on
+ the same level as Warp 4. See the webpage mentioned above.</P

+><P
+>
+There are several annoyances with Windows 2000 SP2. One of which
+only appears when using a Samba server to host user profiles
+to Windows 2000 SP2 clients in a Windows domain. This assumes
+that Samba is a member of the domain, but the problem will
+likely occur if it is not.</P
+><P
+>
+In order to server profiles successfully to Windows 2000 SP2
+clients (when not operating as a PDC), Samba must have
+<B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>nt acl support = no</B
+>
+added to the file share which houses the roaming profiles.
+If this is not done, then the Windows 2000 SP2 client will
+complain about not being able to access the profile (Access
+Denied) and create multiple copies of it on disk (DOMAIN.user.001,
+DOMAIN.user.002, etc...). See the
+<A
+HREF="smb.conf.5.html"
+TARGET="_top"
+>smb.conf(5)</A
+> man page
+for more details on this option. Also note that the
+<B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>nt acl support</B
+> parameter was formally a global parameter in
+releases prior to Samba 2.2.2.</P
+><P
+>
+The following is a minimal profile share:</P
+><P
+><PRE
+CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
+> [profile]
+ path = /export/profile
+ create mask = 0600
+ directory mask = 0700
+ nt acl support = no
+ read only = no</PRE
+></P
+><P
+>The reason for this bug is that the Win2k SP2 client copies
+the security descriptor for the profile which contains
+the Samba server's SID, and not the domain SID. The client
+compares the SID for SAMBA\user and realizes it is
+different that the one assigned to DOMAIN\user. Hence the reason
+for the "access denied" message.</P
+><P
+>By disabling the <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>nt acl support</B
+> parameter, Samba will send
+the Win2k client a response to the QuerySecurityDescriptor
+trans2 call which causes the client to set a default ACL
+for the profile. This default ACL includes </P
