[Samba] Enforcing local profile doesn't let Home Directory mapping

Dear all,

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Server 64-bit edition and I am trying to
enforce Local profile for all users and below is my smb.conf file.
According to the samba documentation, leaving the logon home and logon
path values to empty will enforce local profiles, it worked. But, my
main requirement is when users login their home directories are mapped
and they appear in My Computer window so they get to access all their
files. This disappears if i enable the above mentioned option.

How do i get both of them working?

Thanks
Avinash
