Roaming Profiles

[JTait at wyrddreams.demon.co.uk]

Hi all,

I've been reading this list so long I realy should know the answer to
this, but evidently I've got messed up somewhere.  Samba 2.0.6, acting as
PDC.  Domain logins work great, haven't tried logon scipts.  The problem I
have is with roaming profiles - I can't get them to work.

I've looked through everything I can think of, plus as much documentation
as I can (but it's a bit scatty at the moment), but I can't figure it out.
Nothing ever gets written to my profile.
