Roaming profiles with Samba

Hi all,
I've followed the instructions in the DOMAIN.txt document to setup roaming
profiles for my Win 95/98 workstations with great success....except for one
thing.
Prior to setting the samba server up as a domain server I had the
workstations mapping the users' home directories to E drive (right click
the share on the server & select Map Network Drive).
After setting up the samba server, the logon script & my workstation I've
now got the following problem:
My workstation correctly stores the my profile settings on the server in
the profiles share I defined. The problem arises when the workstation runs
the logon script. It appears that the workstation is mapping E:\ to the
profiles share instead of what I've specified in the logon script. The
users' home directories end up being mapped to F:\
Below is my smb.conf & logon script:
smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = CST
wins support = yes
status = yes
os level = 65
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
logon path = \\csta\profiles\%U\profile
logon script = scripts\startup.bat
<SNIP>
[netlogon]
path = /usr/local/samba/netlogon
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
[profiles]
path =/home/profiles
browseable = yes
read only = no
writable = yes
...
startup.bat
net use e: /home
net time \\csta /set /yes
...
Is there a way I can bind the users' home directories to E:\ ? Can I get
around the client workstations automatically mounting \\csta\profiles to E:\ ?
With thanks,
John
