[Samba] Roaming profiles in domain level

Hi,

Windows checks the security acl of a profile.
The user must be owner!

-|  
-|  Hi Everyone,
-|  
-|  Does anybody use roaming profiles in domain level?
-|  
-|  I'm looking for helps for setting up Samba as a NT4 domain member to
-|  support roaming profiles for sharing during domain logon of Windows
-|  clients. I ran into the problems. log files couldn't show specified
-|  messages, except for BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. 
-|  
-|  If a profile share directory is mounted on a Windows NT DC 
-|  or a Windows
-|  domain member, all Windows clients can successfully use 
-|  roaming profiles
-|  in that share during domain logon. If the profile share is 
-|  mounted on a
-|  Samba server that is a NT4 domain member, and successfully 
-|  joined to the
-|  domain, then all Windows client can save profiles to the 
-|  share. But only
-|  Windows NT clients can load roaming profiles from Samba. 
-|  WinXP(SP1/SP2
-|  and Win2K(SP4) couldn't download roaming profiles from 
-|  Samba profiles
-|  share.
-|  
-|  I captured network traffics of domain logon for profiles 
-|  stored on both
-|  Windows and Samba domain members. By comparing behaviors, 
-|  it looks Samba
-|  couldn't handle the case well. I've tried both Samba2.2.12 and
-|  samba3.0.7. All have the same problem. So 
-|  I'm looking for others' experiences, and see if Samba has 
-|  capability to
-|  provide roaming profiles in domain level.
-|  
-|  I have all log files or ethereal log files. If needed, I 
-|  can send to you
-|  as reference. Any hints or helps, it would be greatly appreciated. 
-|  
-|  Thanks in advance.
