By "the bit before that" I assume you mean the LDAP and share changes?
 That would not magically make the client do anything.  In particular
it would not make them copy profiles to/from the server.  That is why
I was asking about configuration and software on the client and not
the server, which you had already mentioned.

Anyway, from what you and Rowland have said that is not possible with
Linux clients.  Of course roaming profiles may not be what you want
and you could instead access everything directly over the network
using e.g. NFS4 as you say.
