[Samba] samba 3.5.x, pdbedit smb.conf and profiles

[Andy]

The per-user values set by pdbedit do override the value in smb.conf. 
The problem I am having is that I set "profile path" with pdbedit to 
something different than what's in smb.conf, but now I want to go back 
to the value of "logon path" in smb.conf. Setting the profile path with 
pdbedit to an empty string, "", or NULL, does not result in the value 
being read again from smb.conf, it just sets the value to blank.

Thanks.

How do you remove the per-user value with pdbedit and have the value 
read from smb.conf? I have tried setting the per-user value both to "" 
and NULL.
