+
+ this is a security check new to Windows XP (or maybe only
+ Windows XP service pack 1). It can be disabled via a group policy in
+ Active Directory. The policy is:
+
+ "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User
+ Profiles\Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folders"
+
+ ...and it should be set to "Enabled".
+
+ Does the new version of samba have an Active Directory analogue? If so,
+ then you may be able to set the policy through this.
+
+ If you cannot set group policies in samba, then you may be able to set
+ the policy locally on each machine. If you want to try this, then do
+ the following (N.B. I don't know for sure that this will work in the
+ same way as a domain group policy):
+
+ On the XP workstation log in with an Administrator account.
+
+ Click: "Start", "Run"
+ Type: "mmc"
+ Click: "OK"
+
+ A Microsoft Management Console should appear.
+ Click: File, "Add/Remove Snap-in...", "Add"
+ Double-Click: "Group Policy"
+ Click: "Finish", "Close"
+ Click: "OK"
+
+ In the "Console Root" window:
+ Expand: "Local Computer Policy", "Computer Configuration",
+ "Administrative Templates", "System", "User Profiles"
+ Double-Click: "Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile
+ Folders"
+ Select: "Enabled"
+ Click: OK"
+
+ Close the whole console. You do not need to save the settings (this
+ refers to the console settings rather than the policies you have
+ changed).
+
+ Reboot.
