[Samba] How to recover: Lost /var/lib/samba/profiles restoring from
disk crash

I had configured a linux server as a PDC for my home network with a
couple windows boxes.
I had a disk crash, and recovered all of my configuration from backups.
I installed fc6 instead of fc4, with whatever samba came along with it
(3.0.23c). But somewhere along the line I realized that I had no
backups of /var since I long ago learned that /var was for stuff that
you don't need to backup (sic).
Now /var/lib/samba/profiles should contain my roaming profile, but when
I log on to a windows box it says it can't locate my remote profile (not
surprisingly). Is there a way to reconstruct the profiles directory
contents by copying my NTuser.dat from the windows box, or something?
Here are the (I think) relevant parts of my configuration:
[global]
netbios name = TERMITA
workgroup = AURORAHIGHLANDS
wins support = yes
passdb backend = smbpasswd
os level = 33
security = user
time server = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
domain logons = yes
logon path = \\server\profiles\%U
logon drive = H:
logon home = \\server\share\%U
logon script = logon.cmd
server string = Share Server
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 5000 -s
/bin/false -M %u
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
interfaces = 192.168.1.0/24
[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
read only = yes
write list = ntadmin
[profiles]
path = /var/lib/samba/profiles
writeable = yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
valid users = user1,user2
Thanks!
