samba - Aug 2004 - Windows 2000/xp logon says cannot create profile

I'm running samba-3 on gentoo using samba as a pdc to manage users to
designated shares and home directories.  I have managed to create
users/passwords which create the shared drives using a batch file.
However, when I do login with the user, it says it can't create a
profile and forces the the creation of a temporary profile which is
deleted when the user logs out.

Is there a way to fix this using pdbedit so that the profile is stored
in the profiles folder in samba-3?

thanks in advance

I would try pdbedit -v username, see where the profile is pointint and
make sure the user can access that share as well as write to it.  If you
need to change it just do this, pdbedit
--profile="\\gentooserver\profiledirectory" username, and that will
update
it.

Hope this helps.
