[Samba] Queries on samba with roaming profiles

[Neil Muller]

Have you got a "login path" entry in your smb.conf? For w2k it seems you need
login path and a profiles share in smb.conf. I also had to make the directory
named in my profiles section writeable by all. The entries in my smb.conf file are:

[global]
.
.
  logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U
.
.
[profiles]
  path = /usr/local/samba/profiles
  read only = no
  create mask = 0600
  directory mask = 0766
  browseable = yes
