[Samba] cannot locate roaming profile

[Matthias Spork]

Hello,

does all user has writepermissions to there own profile? Does samba 
creates /export/smb/ntprofile/username ?
I had similar problems, so I wrote simple root-preexec-scripts to create 
the directorys.

[profiles]
        comment = NT Roaming Profiles
        path = /samba/profiles
        root preexec = /etc/samba/scripts/mk_sambadir 
"/samba/profiles/%U" "%U" "%g"
        profile acls = yes
        browseable = yes
        force user = %U
        writeable = yes
        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700
        read only = no


# cat /etc/samba/scripts/mk_sambadir

#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -d "$1" ]
then
  mkdir "$1"
fi
  chmod 700 "$1" -R
  chown "$2" "$1" -R
  chgrp "$3" "$1" -R
