[Samba] Badly need some help with those BEEEEEP roaming profile....

[Pierre Francoeur]

Hi all,
I've got a Samba PDC working on Slackware 9.0 with clients running Win2k SP3 French.
Everything runs fine, except one thing. I suppose you guessed what... (eh... no? erm...) the roaming profile.

I've been googling / reading howtos / searching the archive for some time now, still can't find what is the problem.

Here's the behaviour i get:

Everything is ok, the profile get saved on the PDC when a user logout, but the machine just don't use it when the user log in again! I've even deleted the local cached profile and tried logging in, it just create a new profile using the local "Default User". I've search my logs on samba, found nothing unusual. I've searched my events in windows, found nothing unusual. I've never heard/seen anyone having that kind of trouble... could it be the fact that my windows are french? I'd be surprised...

If anyone can help me, or give me any urls where i could find more documentation or any kind of advice, it would be really appreciated!

here's my smb.conf
