samba - Apr 2006 - Automatically create profile directory

I have my Samba PDC setup to use roaming profiles.  If the user's profile
directory exists (ex: /var/lib/samba/profiles/someuser) with the correct
permissions and ownership then it works fine.

However, I expect (incorrectly?) that Samba would auto-create the user's
profile directory the first time the user logged in.  Am I wrong or have I
missed something?

Thanks,

The parent directory has to be writable by the user since the profile
directory is created with the privilege of that user. So something
like:

  chmod 1777 /var/lib/samba/profiles

Should be sufficient. Not pretty, but sufficient.
