[Samba] Profiles XP and Service Pack 1

[Hans Wurst]

Hi Trevor, Hi list 
 
the registry patch did not have an influence - neither did changing the
shares 
ownership from root to a domain admin. Perhaps sombodey can help me with the

comment in the Win2kSP2 readme - Why is  "NT ACL support = no" not
neccessary  
when winbind is used to create users? And again, any further feedback is
greatly 
appreciated. 
 
Thanks
