It looks like I was completely wrong in diagnosing the cause of the
problem. I thought the problem got solved by moving from 2.0.2 to
2.1prealpha but after a great successful start I found out that under
some circumstances the roaming profiles were not being updated either.

I discovered that the problem hapens when I log into the Samba domain
and _then_ I log into our NetWare server by using the IntranetWare
client. Then, when I log off, the NT workstation does not connect to
the Profiles share and therefore the roaming profile does not get
updated.

I bet the same thing would happen if I were loging in into a NT PDC.

This crappy Novell IntranetWare client is always causing problems with
NT. It's not the first time this client causes problems. It's an old
version though, I should probably try a newer one.

So, go ahead with 2.0.3 Jeremy! Sorry for the false alarm :-(
