[Samba] Roaming Profile Problems

[Aaron Cline]

Hello:

I am running RedHat 7.3 with Samba 2.2.3a.  My clients are Windows 
2kSP2.  I am having problems where profiles seem to be getting corrupted.
I continually get errors for random users that say something to 
the effect of, "Windows can't copy file-x, path not found".  I have 
verified that the file is in the profile on the Samba server.  This 
results in the user having a temporary default profile loaded for 
them.

Also, shortcuts in the profile being copied down and become invalid 
so I have to continually go and fix them.  

If this can't be fixed how can I disable Roaming Profiles?  I tried 
to take out the settings that I thought should be removed but I kept 
getting similar file copy problems.  If I remove Roaming Profiles 
do I have to build the user accounts on the local machine as well 
as the server?
