university of navarra - they wrote a nice howto
but i confused myself into thinking they had a hand in the smbldap-tools
stuff too.

chmod g-rw filename 
vs
chown mygroupname filename
i dunno - both seem pretty simple to me...
Users can use the windows tools if you set up ACL support.

if you grep for userProfile in all the smbtools you find

smbldap-populate.pl:profilePath: $_userProfile
smbldap-populate.pl:profilePath: $_userProfile
smbldap-useradd.pl:    my $valprofilepath = "$_userProfile$userName";
smbldap_conf.pm:$_userProfile $_userHomeDrive
smbldap_conf.pm:$_userSmbHome $_userProfile $_userHomeDrive $_userScript
smbldap_conf.pm:$_userProfile = q(\\\\BITC\\profiles\\);

so the username is appended to the profile path - youll end up with
$userName for the profile path if you set $_userProfile to ""

I've never wanted to remove this stuff but it would be fairly easy for
you to remove the bits you don't want
