samba - Oct 2003 - roaming profiles in Samba 2.2 vs 3

Hi,

Below is a snippet of my .conf file that worked in 2.2.7a;

[netlogon]
comment = network logon service
path = \\stuff\people\netlogon
read only = no
browseable = no
guest ok = yes

[profile]
comment = user profiles
path = \\stuff\people\%U
writeable = yes
browseable = no

Using v3.0 during a logon session from a 2K ws I get;

Windows cannot create profile directory \\%
N\username\profile.pds

Any ideas what in I need to do?

If it worked it did so despite being broken! See fixes below.

See above. Samba share specs read UNIX paths - not Windows UNC names.

Hi,

I'm getting a bit further but now I get the message;

Windows did not load your profile because a server copy 
already exsists that does not have the correct security.  
Either the current user of Administrators group must be the 
owner of the folder.

This happens if the profile folder exsists or not.  The Unix 
perms are chowned to the user logging in and I've tried;

chown profile
chmod -R 700
chmod -R 777

I've also mapped the NT group to the Unix group via the "net 
groupmap add" facility.

I did compile with --with-automount and --with-acl-support.  
I'm not sure if Samba 2.2.7 with Redhat had these features.
