[Samba] Roaming profiles

[Mugo Martin]

Let me ask this again though it seems off the point.

Are we supposed to add more lines to the *smb.conf* file even though the
distribution installed does come with them defined.  Samba 3.0.x has at most
5 lines in the *profiles* section. No mask, force user, ..etc.
Adding them does not break Samba and testparm outputs them, but do they add
anything or you are better off looking for configuration problems elsewhere?

Mike E, sorry I didn't get back at you over your question. Couldn't think of
a solution and I'm very new to samba. Hope you got sorted though.

Martin.
