WinXP SP1 problems with profiles

[Bradley W. Langhorst]

there is aparently a setting on the client to ignore the permissions
now...

according to Marc Berenschot
    Hello,
    
    I am not on the samba mailinglist and hope you don't mind me
    e-mailing
    you directly.
    
    We also run into the roaming profile problem. Microsoft advised us
    to
    do the following:
    
    ------
    This extra check can be disabled by setting the following Policy
    setting:
    Open the Group Policy editor. Browse to: Computer Configuration =>
    Administrative Templates => System => User Profiles The option "Do
    not
    check
    for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folder" can be enabled or
    disabled.
    (The default is disabled)
    
    Note that if you want to add this policy to the Active Directory you
    will
    have to create the GPO from a Windows XP workstation.
    ------
    
    It works on our site now, so we can both use win2k (SP3) and XP
    (SP1)
    with roaming profiles on a Solaris Samba server without winbind.

i've not verified this yet but maybe it is a better solution...
