[Samba] Samba PDC not creating roaming profiles

[Mark W. Webb]

I am having a similar problem with samba 3.0 rc4. My roaming profile 
gets loaded upon login, but never gets updated upon logout.  Just to 
debug, I have made all permissions 777 on /home/profile/* and it does 
not help.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
