Thanks. 
the only wrinkle  is that home directories and user profiles are stored on 
external storage (member server ). and I don't have [profile] share on PDC as 
I understood from smb.conf manpage that setting in [profile] like path etc. 
concerns local os path not on external server - storage. So will this 
settings work on member server ?
