[Samba] Disabling Roaming Profiles

Morning everyone.
I have a question on how to disable Roaming Profiles for my Samba PDC.
As it stands right now, I have decided not to implement Roaming Profiles on
my network. The short answer to that is, implementing Roaming Profiles is
not a major benefit to us at this time.
However, I want my users to log into the domain and use their local
profiles instead. However, I seem to be having a problem in implementing
this correctly.
I read the Samba How-To Collection, and the section on how to disable
roaming profiles. I edited my smb.conf file, but it still seems to be
having a problem. Now, when I have the user log onto the domain, I receive
a message box telling me that the users profile directory cannot be
created, and that when they log on, they will only be using a temporary
profile. Thus, anything they save on the desktop, will not be saved.
Here is a snip of my smb.conf file:
[global]
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
;Basic inital test settings
netbios name = smbtest
workgroup = disneyland
;PDC and Master browser settings
preferred master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
os level = 65
;security and logging settings
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
domain logons = yes
;log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
;log level = 2
;max log size = 50
;hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
;logon paths
;logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u\%m
logon script = logon.bat
logon drive = H:
[netlogon]
path = /home/netlogon
writable = no
browsable = no
[profiles]
path = /home/samba/profiles
browsable = no
writable = yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
[homes]
read only = yes
browsable = no
guest ok = no
map archive = yes
I tried to disable logon path (We are using all Win2k machines). But, I am
still having some problems.
Any idea on what the problem could be?
Thank you,
Best.
Jason
