[Samba] Roaming Profiles + Win2000 + XP

[James]

Hi,

Ive got my PDC up and running under samba, it is serving several windows
2000 machines and a windows XP machine.

The problem is when using Roaming Profiles.......

Were using Outlook XP + IMAP Mail for the users emails, which works fine....
the only problem comes when logging off the machine and back to another. The
windows 2000 machines seem to update the profile changes back to the server.
The windows XP machines update NEW files (eg on the desktop if i make a new
text document) but not remove files which should be deleted, or update edits
to files. (eg if i delete a file off the desktop of the profile when on the
XP machine, it wont be deleted from the server when I log off, and i do mean
files, not shortcuts).

I assume this must be some sort of caching problem with XP, or maybe its
something I can manage from my smb.conf, totally lost at the moment :(

I also cannot get the U: drive to be automounted to the users home
directory....... although I had that working at one point (as i said,
totally lost at the moment)

Any suggestions on the problem + my smb.conf (below) would be much
appreciated.
