Although I have never had a problem with roaming profiles under NT / Samba
PDC setup, many people have posted about this.  What I have done is to
specify a "root preexec" script that runs once access to a [profile] share
The script creates a \\server\profile\<username> directory if it does not
exist.  This is fully automatic on the back end so you don't need to worry
about individual users.



Hope this helps,
