[Samba] roaming cache and nt acl support

Actually it doesn't - in 2.2.1 there was added support for W2k-SP2
clients. In 2.2.2 there was added support for nt acl support being mapped
"closer" to POSIX style ACLs and making available on a "per share" basis.

All I'm saying is when I turn it off in post 2.2.1 samba code, my local
profile copies on the client get removed by virtue of "DeleteRoamingCache"
and "CachedLogonsCount" registry entries. If I turn it on, it no longer
works properly. This implies that the local NT copy has permissions that
are all messed up from my point of view since I cannot remove the profile
copy even as Administrator.

So whatever is being sent from the Samba server is making it extremely
difficult to remove the locally stored profile copies when the default
setting of "nt acl support = yes" is used.

As I said previously, it's in 2.2.2, 2.2.3a and 2.2.4-pre that this
happens, but not in 2.2.1a when SP2 was first supported.

Is this normal, or am I just losing my mind?
