samba - Feb 2003 - Turning Off Roaming Profiles? (resend)

Sigh, here is me, trying to make a decent first impression of myself by
providing as much information as I could, and then Outlook Expresses 'Send
message later' option does something I didn't expect it to. So, here is
the
full message.

Basically, as the subject says, I've found heaps of information on turning
them on, but I don't particularly want them as my profile is quite large.
I'm not quite sure why its even trying to use roaming profiles, I don't
have
a logon path = set in my smb.conf.

My only guess is that if it doesn't find the logon path, it just puts the
profile in your logon home directory in a subdirectory called profile.  If
anyone can give me some info in to how to turn this functionality off it'd
be greatly appreciated.

Below is what I believe to be relevant bits of my smb.conf file.

[global]
        netbios name = CASPAR
        encrypt passwords = true
        local master = yes
        preferred master = yes
        logon script = logon.bat
        domain logons = yes
        domain master = yes
        logon drive = H:
        logon home = \\caspar\%u
        os level = 99

[homes]
        path = /home/%u/shared
        create mode = 0600
        directory mode = 0700
        read only = No
        browseable = No

[netlogon]
        path = /home/samba/netlogon
        read only = No
        read list = nobody


Domain logons work (almost) perfectly for my needs except for this problem.
The other problems aren't so much ones which would stop me from using samba
as a PDC, just little annoyances like group mappings.

I am using samba version 2.2.3a-12 for Debian (Debian 3.0).

If anyone could help it'd be greatly appreciated.

	  logon home 
This should do. Note: Nothing after the '=' should set this to 'do
not
use'.

Please check previous postings on this. You should use Linux file system
permission to control this.
