samba - Oct 2006 - PDC: client has "profile.pds" trouble

Hello list.

I just installed and configured my first Samba-3 PDC and I succeeded
immediately with the "join" operation with a Win2k SP4 client.
As I afterwards rebooted and tried to logon with the domain user, both
root and regular user, I got an error messagge telling me that it was
unable to create \\servername\root\profile.pds.

In fact, my /home/profiles directory remains empty (no user
directories are created at all). Permissions are "chmod 1757"...

I will really appreciate help on this issue.

BTW: I'm not wanting "Roaming Profiles", I will try them after I
can
logon to the PDC with local client profiles at first.

Many thanks in advance.

Samba and windows xp has them switched on by default.  IIRC you need to 
set a blank config directive for profiles so as not to use them:
logon path 
Try that to switch them off.

or you could could create the profile path anyway......

Hello,

I have a Samba 3.0.23 server being a domain member server (security = ads).
I was able to join the domain without problems, but I cannot access shares
on the server using domain accounts. A log level = 10 log shows the
following errors:

The domain controller is a Windows 2003 server, the client trying to connect
a Windows XP SP2 machine.
