[Samba] Is there a way to support both local and roaming profile with one server / domain?

[Jason Baker]

I'm not sure of a way to do it in Samba literally, but I have some 
"local" users on my roaming network. They are given a local user account 
on a workstation and they log into the local computer instead of the 
domain. Samba still handles all authentication for the user when they 
want to access Samba shares. But as far as a way to configure Samba for 
both, I don't have an answer. I would be highly interested to know how 
if it were possible.
