samba - Mar 2008 - question about login connections in XP vs Samba server

Hello,

I have a samba server (3.05xx) over centOS running as a 
windows DC. I can join the XP machines to th domain 
without problem but when i shut the pc down it remains 
saving the configuration in the windows logo screen for 
almost 10 minutes and then it shuts down. I check in the 
server and it is copying the whole documents and settings 
folder content from the XP to the server... how can i 
avoid that? i have nothing defined to do so. THis is the 
smb.conf:

[global]
	netbios name = domain
	ldap ssl = No
	restrict anonymous = no
	max protocol = NT
	server string = domain samba server
	logon script = netlogon.bat
	unix password sync = yes
	workgroup = workgroup
	server signing = Auto
	os level = 100
	domain master = yes
	passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
	domain logons = yes
[netlogon]
comment = Logon Service
path = /var/samba/netlogon
guest ok = Yes
browseable = No

[homes]
comment = Home directory
valid users = %S
browseable = No
read only = no
create mask = 0755
directory mask = 0755

This is called roaming profiles.

See "logon path" in the smb.conf manual.

You can turn off roaming profiles on the XP machine.......

(skip the first part...)

This way, even if you define "logon path" in the smb.conf, it
won't.
