I'm new to Samba, so I don't now if there is a Samba-based solution. But I had
the same problem running Win9x in a NT 4.0 Domain.
I found a solution to this by doing the following:
1. disable raoming profiles on the _Win9x_-machine
(2. creating a profile-drectory for each domain-user on the NT PDC)
3. telling all the Win9x-Clients where to put the Profiles on the PDC (it's a
Registry-Hack described in the M$ literature for Win95)
I did this one year ago, so I have to look if I can find the literature again
(now, I have no Win9x-clients anymore). If anybody is interested in it, I
would just post it to samba-ntdom at samba.org
Attention:
Be careful with the Administrator's-profile. It is possible, that the
Administrator's-profile is corrupted, so you can't logon to the PDC anymore.
