Sorry if I'm not beeing very clear.

I have a machine that holds users homes and exports the home dir to the 
samba server, ok? Then I configured the server so that each user profile 
is placed in /home/$user_dir/profile by setting the line:

logon path = \\%L\%U\profile


What is happenig is that when a user logs in for the firs time if the 
directory /home/$user/profile dosen't exist, it is created. The user 
works in the client machine and then logs off. The content in the 
directory /home/$user/profile is none... but the directory c:\Documents 
and Settings\$user holds every thing.

I know that this is a local cache, but what I expected was that when the 
user logs off all the contents in /home/$user/profile  where at least 
the same as c:\Documents and Settings\$user

Hope you undestand now.
