samba - Mar 2003 - Roaming Profile files remain locked after logout/shutdown

Our floater secretaries roam around the office constantly. Recently they've
complained that they only get a temporary profile and a warning that their
romaing profile is unavailable when they move from one station to another
within a few minutes.

Looking into this I found that files in their profile remain locked after
they had logged out and even shut down the workstation they were on.  I
watched them log out cleanly so it's not a luser problem.

Is this a timeout or network issue?

hi, I have the same problem!

additionally sometimes the roaming profiles remain on the w2k 
workstation. the latter problem could be eased by the following part of 
the startup.bat

xcacls "%USERPROFILE%" /T /C /E /G %USERNAME%:FO /Y
xcacls "%USERPROFILE%" /T /C /E /G Administratoren:F /Y
xcacls "%USERPROFILE%" /T /C /E /G System:F /Y

but, the problem is not completely solved. I also observe profiles like
jo
jo.DOMAIN
jo.DOMAIN.000
jo.DOMAIN.001
