User profiles

[Mike Rylander]

You may need to use the %U substitution instead of %u.  I don't believe that 
%u is available at the profile stage of login.  %U is the username requested 
by the client, so if your Domain user names are different than your unix 
usernames (mapped with 'username map =' in smb.conf) then you will need to 
create directories under /usr/local/samba/nt/profiles/ for the domain 
usernames.
