[Samba] roaming and local profiles on same domain

I have samba 3 configured and running fine as a PDC with LDAP as the
back end user database. I have most users using roaming profiles but
there are a few I would like to be able to only have local profiles.
Is it possible to configure samba to use both types of profile rather
than one or the other. I have the profile path set on each user
account in LDAP as the field "sambaProfilePath" and I have tried
removing the "logon path" directive from the smb.conf file. If I
remove the sambaProfilePath entry from a user record then their profile
still gets saved to the profile directory under what I assume is the
default "logon path" setting. If I set "logon path =" with no value
on the right of = then this breaks all the roaming profiles and it seems
to ignore the "sambaProfilePath" set on the individual accounts. I
gather there is a reg setting that I can use on each windows machine to
tell it to ignore roaming profiles, but I would like to do it on a per
user rather than per machine basis.
Does anyone know of a way round this?
Thanks
Rich
