[Samba] Roaming profile problems

[Laurent Mallet]

 Hello,

I have installed since 6 months a PDC with samba and there is an endless 
problem : the roaming profile synchronisation !!!

THE problem : Sometimes after the logout of a client, the roaming profile
is not synchronised on server. So when client connect on another clients, it 
seems that some data have been loosed... After there is no later 
synchronisation... So mails in profile are often lost! 

( This is not a problem with time : The time is synchro with the netlogon 
script so clients and server have same time.... )


My configuration :
server :
---------
- linux 2.4.18 with XFS filesystems
- Server samba 2.2.5

client :
-------
Windows 2000 workstation 
Service Pack 3

My smb.conf : (some options are in this file for tests as "oplocks")
