Hmmm, this is interesting. If it happens again, it would be interesting if 
you can grab a trace of the packets exchanged when you try to log on.

I solved my problem by deleting my profiles up on the server, and then 
logging off, which wrote a new (old) set of profiles, and the next time I 
logged back on, everything seemed OK.

I suspect that my problem was due to the SID of my Samba server changing 
and not matching the SID stored in NTUSER.DAT, which controls access.

Wish I had a tool that could read registry files under UNIX.
