This is a link to...
"Using Samba, 2nd Edition
By Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown
2nd Edition, February 2003 
O'Reilly & Associates, ISBN: 0-596-00256-4"

Search for "Configuring Samba for Roaming Profiles".

This topic talks about how to setup PLATFORM directories, and then
have a soft link from machine name to the PLATFORM directory.  It
handles W95-XP!

GREAT reading! :-))))))
