[Samba] Small problem with XP client

If you have mixed flavours of windows using the same profile(s), you will see 
this problem. I have seen this when mixing 2k and xp clients with the same 
profile. 

If you wish, you can look at the "%a" variable substitution that guesses what  
architecture the machine currently connecting is and use it in the profiles 
path. i.e

logon home = /var/lib/samba/profiles/%a/%U

Then each user would have a profile for different architectures. I beleive xp 
and 98/ME is currently found a UNKNOWN but 2k/NT/95/WfWg are recognised. You 
may need to experiment with a, "preexec" command to log to a file what 
architecture is found, to see how well, "%a" performs with your clients. i.e.

preexec = echo %a %U >> /tmp/architecture

in the [ netlogon ] share definition will log the user and the architechture 
to the given file each time they log on.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded.  Everybody rolls with their
fingers crossed.  Everybody knows the war is over.  Everybody knows the
good guys lost.  Everybody knows the fight was fixed: the poor stay
poor, the rich get rich.  That's how it goes.  Everybody knows.

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking.  Everybody knows the captain
lied.  Everybody got this broken feeling like their father or their dog
just died.

Everybody talking to their pockets.  Everybody wants a box of chocolates
and long stem rose.  Everybody knows.

Everybody knows that you love me, baby.  Everybody knows that you really
do.  Everybody knows that you've been faithful, give or take a night or
two.  Everybody knows you've been discreet, but there were so many people
you just had to meet without your clothes.  And everybody knows.

And everybody knows it's now or never.  Everybody knows that it's me or you.
And everybody knows that you live forever when you've done a line or two.
Everybody knows the deal is rotten: Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
for you ribbons and bows.  And everybody knows.
