 NT PDC and Profiles (i.e. user.dat and 'the rest') on a SAMBA machine is 
 possible. I presume?? you mean for Windows 9X machines, as for NT 
 workstations, doing this is intuitive.
 
 [For Windows 9X machines]
 Whatever path you use for the Users Directory in the User Manager on the 
 PDC will be used for Profiles. We have a NT PDC, with user Directories 
 and Profiles on a SAMBA Server. We  keep these seperate by exporting 
 the 'homes' share under a different share name, then use a Logon script 
 to map that share to a drive on the client machines.
 
 IMO the way Networked Profiles are handled by Win9X machines is messy.
 Controlling them is even messier. 
 
 Cheers!
