samba - Aug 2004 - Samba 3 as pdc : Roaming profile cannot be created.... win2k workstation

I have Samba 3 running on gentoo as a pdc. I read in someone's forum
posting to try enabling acls and that didn't seem to do much good.  I
can get the computers to be added to the domain using their smb
username/passwords and when they login, the correct shares
corresponding to their users map perfectly; however, my biggest
problem is when they do login it says the following:

Windows cannot locate your roaming profile and is attempting to log
you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be
propagated to the server.

DETAIL - The specified user does not exist. 

Afterwards, it says it will create a temporary profile which won't be
saved.  My guess is that the user is having trouble writing the
profile settings on the local computer.  Has anyone come across this
problem before?

thanks in advance,

Phill

Sounds like you might have an issue with the global settings in smb.conf which
start with the word "logon", maybe specifically "logon path"
or the dirs they are trying to point to.

Roaming profiles are a bad evil thing anyway. Set "logon path =" and
be done with it, disable them and the dialog box that is popping up and annoying
you.
