[Samba] Roaming Profiles:Samba PDC:WinXP:User must be local admin

[Zach]

Unfortunately I don't have access to the SAMBA PDC (or win xp clients)
right now.  However the machine I'm on (RH9) has samba 2.2.x.  I
looked up smb.conf on this machine and the man page for smb.conf isn't
explicit about where profile acls = yes should go.  However, it does
list profile acls under service parameters vs. global parameters. 
Based on that, it seems like profile acls should not go under
[global].  However, I'll try anything so later today, I'll give it a
try and see if it works.

If anyone else following this thread gives it a try before then, let
us know how it works.  I'll post my smb.conf (as of last night) again
below.
