samba - Sep 2005 - different logon path for different users - local profiles for a few users only - how?

I would like to have roaming profiles for one group of users (student1, 
student2), and local profiles for another group of users (Joe, Mary).

Is it possible with Samba?

 From what I've tested, one can use either roaming profiles with a 
setting similar to the one below:

logon path = \\%L\profiles\%G\%U


Or local profiles, using the logon path empty:

logon path 

I have no clue how to specify the logon path for certain users only.


I use Samba 3.0.14a (PDC) with OpenLDAP backend.

I doubt it can work. With "include =  /etc/samba/profile.%U" in
smb.conf
  testparm says:


Can't find include file /etc/samba/profile.

You should be able to set the profile path for individual users using
pdbedit, or directly by setting the sambaProfilePath attribute in the
LDAP backend.
