I didn't know that WinXP has them switched on by default, if the PDC
is Samba. Nonetheless, I'm using Win2k, which doesn't behave any
better.
Actually I have following in my config:

logon home = ""
logon path = ""

As you suggested to "blank" the logon path, I did it, removing the
double-quotes.
The result is still the same, no way to log on and no profile is
getting created.

Could you please post me your output of "ls -la" of one of your
profile directory tree? And, could you tell me whether "profile.pds"
is a directory or a file?

I manually created /home/profiles/root and in there I created the
directory "profile.pds" - nothing changed, even as I created an empty
file named "profile.pds" instead of a directory.

Thanks, again!
