samba - May 2002 - Queries on samba with roaming profiles

I've some queries on Samba, hope that someone in the mailing list can help
me
:)

1) I've Samba PDC with W2k workstation (w2kwks).  When I login into w2kwks,
it
created a folder with my username in C:\Documents and Settings directory 
(which I think is the roaming profile directory?)

2) When I configure Outlook 2000 on the w2kwks (for imap), it automatically 
create a Personal Folder in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local 
Settings.  But seems that the Local Settings directory is not roaming (even 
though it's inside the c:\Documents and Settings\username directory)?

3) When I logout and login as another user, I can see the previous user's 
folder in C:\Documents and Settings (I can't open it though).  Is this 
normal?  I thought it should get deleted when the user logout?

There must be something wrong with the way I setup Samba PDC...... :(

Thank you.

Have you got a "login path" entry in your smb.conf? For w2k it seems
you need
login path and a profiles share in smb.conf. I also had to make the directory
named in my profiles section writeable by all. The entries in my smb.conf file
are:

[global]
.
.
  logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U
.
.
[profiles]
  path = /usr/local/samba/profiles
  read only = no
  create mask = 0600
  directory mask = 0766
  browseable = yes
