No.  You've already covered that.

Hmm...  I'll give you two other things that I know of related to serving
profiles on Samba.  

1) If you use a Samba server (not as a PDC) to serve profiles for Win2k
SP2, you must add "nt acl support = no" to the profile share, or you'll
get "Access Denied" message (per docs/README.Win2kSP2 included in the
source package of samba 2.2.2).

2) If the profile share is inside the home share, sometimes a Windows
client can't find the profile share, because it is not a guarantee that
the client connects to the home share before it does the profile share. 


Unfortunately these are all I know regarding profiles.  If these don't
help, maybe others can help?  :)
