samba - Jul 2003 - Problems with Loggin on Samba Server

Dear Team,
		While I can log on to my Samba Server just fine, I still get this error in
it
	"Windows cannot create a profile on \\server\profiles\ikw38.pds you will
not be able to save any changes to the server
 	but you you will have local profile on the machine. No changes will be
saved.

	I looked at smb.conf file it looks to in order according to the
documentation.
	John T helped me set this up. I think it is something very simple.
	Here is the current smb.conf file


	[global]
        workgroup = xxxx
        netbios name = samuel
        server string = Samba PDC running %v
        passdb backend = tdbsam, guest
        log level = 1
        syslog = 0

        comment = A public share for vendor docs, etc.
	  path = /usr/public

        create mask = 0755
        force directory mode = 0755
        guest ok = Yes

[temp]
        comment = A place to drop off temporary files
        path = /tmp
        read only = No
        create mask = 0755
        force directory mode = 0755
        guest ok = Yes

Corporate Documents
        path = /doc
        read only = No
        create mask = 0755
        force directory mode = 0755
        guest ok = Yes

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

[profiles]
	comment = User Profiles (change path as needed)
        path = /var/spool/profiles
        read only = No
        profile acls = Yes



Can anyone help me out here??

Thanks

Maybe it's off-topic, but I had the same errors since I uninstalled
Win2KSP4...

Create a directory under /var/spool/profiles so you have
/var/spool/profiles/ikw38. Make sure the directory ikw38 is owned by ikw38
and is capable of being written to.
