[Samba] Roaming Profile won't upload to workstation that didn't create it

[Rob Mason]

Hi,

I believe I've had a 'hidden' roaming profiles problem with Samba for a 
while (I have no idea when it first manifested itself - sometime between 
3.0.2 and 3.0.21a).

When I create a new user, their client workstation creates and updates 
the profile without any problems.  Existing profiles used by existing 
client workstations are also fine.  However, when I try to logon as an 
existing user to a new workstation client, the existing saved profile 
will not upload - the client hangs for about fifteen! minutes before 
loading a minimal profile.  The only log file clue I have is:

[2006/02/13 09:27:27, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(526)
  read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client 192.168.200.6. Error = 
Operation timed out
[2006/02/13 09:27:27, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(839)


To summarise:
===========
New User + New Workstation = OK
New User + Existing Workstation = OK
Exisitng User + Existng Workstation = OK
Existing User + New Workstation= NO LOAD ???
