I don't think so

# ls -ld /home/samba/profiles/
drwxrwx---  6 root dom_users 4096 Aug 22 16:58 /home/samba/profiles/

# ls -l /home/samba/profiles/
total 32
drwxrwx---  13 Administrator dom_users 4096 Sep 23 22:51 Administrator
drwxrwx---  19 craig         dom_users 4096 Oct  5 08:00 craig
drwxrwx---  16 jennifer      dom_users 4096 Jan 26  2005 jennifer
drwxrwx---  13 patricia      dom_users 4096 Jul 10 22:36 patricia

# net groupmap list |grep "Domain Users"
Domain Users (S-1-5-21-1423820788-2381578139-3444021595-513) ->
dom_users

Thus the main directory and the actual profiles are owned by the group
"Domain Users" who have rwx permissions and in the profile directory,
the user owns their own directories...not root
