<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> We
work in a University environment with users all users having homes on centrally
located server, with computers running around the campus. We are running Fedora
Core 5, 6, 7 (kind of a mix). All of the homes are shared via NFS, with NIS
doing being used for the auto.home to mount homes when a user logs on to the system.
All of the systems use LDAP and are part of our Windows Active Directory, for
password authentication. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Recently
I needed to create a new home for a user (I crated the home on the server) then
had the user log into Fedora with her Windows account information. Instead of
crating all of the “DOT” files and profile settings etc. The
desktop just complained that it could not find the files it needed and would
not continue. I checked to make sure that she has full access to the directory (home)
and that it is owned by the right user. Still it will not create the right
files. I have tried coping the files from another user and changing owner to
this user, yet the system still refused to access the files, complaining that
they did not match and could not find X. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Any
ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Thanks
in Advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
