OK. I've tried to automate the creation of the profiles with the %U option
and the creation of the user profiles directories in mode 700 is OK in the
777 father directory. But if I try to put the father directory in 755 : it
fails.

Other solution I've tried : make a soft link in the father directory for each
user pointing to a directory .ntprofile in the unix home dir of the user. OK.
It works but even with this method, I've tu put 777 on the father
directory!!!

My [profiles] section in smb.conf  for both two solutions :

[profiles]
   comment = ESIL users' NT Profiles
   writable = yes
   path = /export/conan/home/profilsNT
   guest ok = yes
   create mask = 0600
   directory mask = 0700

plus this line in the [global] section :
  logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U

Thanks a lot, you're the only one answering me both in France and in the
world...
