samba - Aug 2004 - samba + windows xp + roaming profiles

Hi, I'm having a problem with the roaming profiles and windows xp.

The problem is that when a new user creates automatically a roaming profile 
and when he logs out the profile stay in the home dir. when he 'relogin'
the
'desktop.ini' files stop working beacuse they are not 'hidden'
anymore, and
all the folders loss its propertis.

Why is that?? what is the solution????

here is a relevant part of my smb.conf:

[global]
        workgroup = EMPRESA
        netbios name = brain
        server string = Controlador de dominio
        printing = cups
        cups options = raw
        printer admin = @root, root, @ntadmin, administrator
        load printers = no
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 50

        security = user
        domain master = yes
        domain logons = yes
        preferred master = yes
        
        
        # Profiles y usuarios
                username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
                # NT4/2000 clients
                logon path = \\%L\profiles\mswprfl
                logon drive = H:
                # Win9x clients
                logon home = \\%L\%u\.w9xprfl

                logon script = %G.bat
                
                include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%m
                
        # Herramientas administrativas de dominio
                admin users = root, @root
                add machine script                         

# Manejando contrase?as
        encrypt passwords = yes
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        unix password sync = Yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n

        comment = Network Profiles Service
        path = /home/%U
        writeable = Yes

You can only store so much information in the UNIX permissions. My 
solution was to activate extended attribute support and disable the old 
style attribute mapping:

	ea support = yes
	map archived = no
	map hidden = no
         map system = no
	store dos attributes = yes

This way the system stores the DOS attributes in the extended 
attributes. You need to have a filesystem that supports extended 
attributes (e.g. ext3 & xfs) for this to work.
