[Samba] XP clients unable to read user profiles (2.2.3a-14.1)

[Martin Pauly]

Hi everyone,

thanks to John Terpstra's hint (teh old thread started with Msg
crn5v6$sh8$1 at sea.gmane.org), our xp clients now do 
join the domain :-).

However, they still fail to read user profiles which were created by
the old Win98 clients. 

The relevant parts of smb.conf look like this:

---------------------------- begien smb.conf ----------------------------
[global]
        domain master = yes
        printing = bsd
        encrypt passwords = yes
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY
        kernel oplocks = false
        wins support = yes
        printcap name = /etc/printcap
        case sensitive = no
        logon script = %U.bat
        interfaces = 192.168.10.10/255.255.255.0
        keep alive = 30
        writeable = yes
        map to guest = Bad User
        security = user
        preserve case = yes
        domain logons = yes
        workgroup = zentrum
        load printers = yes
        os level = 2
        logon home = \\%L\%U\profile
        debuglevel = 4

[netlogon]
        path = /netlogon
        writeable = yes
        guest ok = no

[homes]
   comment = Heimatverzeichnis
   browseable = yes
   read only = no
   writeable = yes
   create mode = 0750

---------------------------- end smb.conf ----------------------------

... and here's a snip form log.smbd:

---------------------------- end log.smbd----------------------------

There are lots of similar messages some of which make sense
to me (e.g. I don't have a logon script) . But I am suspicious
of things like 
profile/xpsp2res.dll failed (No such file or directory)
File permissions are 755 throughout my user profile
(located, of course, in $HOME/profile).

Any ideas what's wrong?

TIA, Martin
