need help with roaming profiles and password change

Hi.

I'm running Samba 2.0.2 setup as a PDC on a Solaris 2.6 NIS machine.
I am able to successfully login to the PDC from my WinNTSP3 client.
First I was assigned the "Default User" profile I had put in the "netlogon"
share and then it correctly created my user profile in \\N\profiles\U
However, when I login to the PDC from the same WinNTSP3 client
as a different new user, I get the first users' profile instead of the
"Default
User" profile.

Any ideas?

Secondly,  whether I have "password sync" on or off  in smb.conf I
can not change my password from the WinNTSP3 client.  I get the following
error message:

Username or old password is incorrect.  Letters in passwords must be
typed using the correct case.  Make sure that capslock is not accidently
on.

Any ideas?

Here's the pertinent parts of my smb.conf:

[global]
   debug level = 0
   printing = bsd
   printcap name = /etc/printers.conf
   load printers = yes
   guest account = pcprint

   lpq command = /usr/ucb/lpq -P%p
   lprm command = /usr/ucb/lprm -P%p %j
; these commands enable cross-subnet browsing
   domain master = yes
   local master = yes
   preferred master = yes
   os level = 65

   logon drive = N:
   logon home = \\%N\%U
   logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U
   logon script = scripts\STARTUP.BAT
   time server = Yes
   netbios name = eeultra
; needed for "staff" group members to have administrator priv. on pcs.
   domain admin group = @staff
; needed for unix password syncing

;   passwd chat debug = true
