samba - Sep 2004 - Roaming profiles problem

Hi,

I've a samba server set up with a ldap backend an I'v configured it to
use
roaming profiles (ie: logon path = \\%L\%U\profile), the users homes are
exported by nfs to the server.

My problem is that the profile of the user always end up in C:/Documents and
Settings/$user .

I've already erased the local profile  and the profile directory in the
users
home dir, but every time that I login the profile dir is created on users home
but nothing is placed there...

If I login with a user in my windows client nothing is coppied to this directory
when I logoff. Sometimes it says to me that there's is no space left on the
device. (wich is wrong...).

I'm really confused because according to docs If you want roaming profiles
you
should set logon path to \\%L\%U\<some dir to store profile stuff>, wich
is
almost the default: \\%N\%U\profile

I don't think that this is a question of permissions since the server
creates
the $user_homedir/profile dir correctly....

That's the way it works.  The files are copied local (from the smb.conf 
specified location) until you log off, at which time they are copied 
back to the server.  I believe there is a setting to delete the roaming 
profile data on log off but I don't know that off hand, I'm pretty sure 
it's in one of the two resources (TOSHARG or Samba3 By Example)
