+You must first convert the profile from a local profile to a domain
+profile on the MS Windows workstation as follows:
+
+1. Log on as the LOCAL workstation administrator.
+
+2. Right click on the 'My Computer' Icon, select 'Properties'
+
+3. Click on the 'User Profiles' tab
+
+4. Select the profile you wish to convert (click on it once)
+
+5. Click on the button 'Copy To'
+
+6. In the "Permitted to use" box, click on the 'Change' button.
+
+7. Click on the 'Look in" area that lists the machine name, when you click
+here it will open up a selection box. Click on the domain to which the
+profile must be accessible.
+
+Note: You will need to log on if a logon box opens up. Eg: In the connect
+as: MIDEARTH\root, password: mypassword.
+
+8. To make the profile capable of being used by anyone select 'Everyone'
+
+9. Click OK. The Selection box will close.
+
+10. Now click on the 'Ok' button to create the profile in the path you
+nominated.
+
+Done. You now have a profile that can be editted using the samba-3.0.0
+profiles tool.

+
+No difference. Samba handles the profile ACLs the same way Win2K does.
+But understand that it is the Win2K client that does all the processing
+of the SIDs on the ACLs in the profile NTUser.DAT file.

+
+Under NT/2K the use of mandotory profiles forces the use of MS Exchange
+storage of mail data. That keeps desktop profiles usable.

+
+	 this is a security check new to Windows XP (or maybe only
+	Windows XP service pack 1).  It can be disabled via a group policy in
+	Active Directory.  The policy is:
+
+	"Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User
+	Profiles\Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folders"
+
+	...and it should be set to "Enabled".
+
+	Does the new version of samba have an Active Directory analogue?  If so,
+	then you may be able to set the policy through this.
+
+	If you cannot set group policies in samba, then you may be able to set
+	the policy locally on each machine.  If you want to try this, then do
+	the following (N.B. I don't know for sure that this will work in the
+	same way as a domain group policy):
+
+	On the XP workstation log in with an Administrator account.
+
+	Click: "Start", "Run"
+	Type: "mmc"
+	Click: "OK"
+
+	A Microsoft Management Console should appear.
+	Click: File, "Add/Remove Snap-in...", "Add"
+	Double-Click: "Group Policy"
+	Click: "Finish", "Close"
+	Click: "OK"
+
+	In the "Console Root" window:
+	Expand: "Local Computer Policy", "Computer Configuration",
+	"Administrative Templates", "System", "User Profiles"
+	Double-Click: "Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile
+	Folders"
+	Select: "Enabled"
+	Click: OK"
+
+	Close the whole console.  You do not need to save the settings (this
+	refers to the console settings rather than the policies you have
+	changed).
+
+	Reboot.
