[Samba] XP "logon failure" but still logs on -- no roaming profile

[richard]

Are you auth-ing to your Pdc via a routed link? and do you have
effectively a Bdc on your local lan with a "profile" share enabled?
This had me stuffed for ages, disable profile share on Bdc "fixed" my
intermittant xp-pro domain logon problem. hope this helps.
regards
Richard Coates.
