PDC user authentication

[Wilson Yau]

Dear Randy,

Thanks for your tips.
However, adding a line "valid users = %S" in the [homes] section did not
help solve the first problem - user authentication.  Unexpectedly, this help
get rid of the error message mentioned in the second problem - profiles.
I've found a new directory "%U" was created by smb.conf (path:
/usr/local/samba/profiles/%U), but nothing was inside there.  Here I quote
some of the log messages by tail -f /usr/local/samba/var/log.koala which
could be traced what happened when a user called wilson logged in the NT
client.
