I am using Samba as a PDC for Win2K clients and it allows me to log in just
fine but I am have a problem with the Windows profiles. I get the following
two errors when I login on the Win2k machine.
Warning 1:
Windows cannot create a profile directory \\
pdc_hostname\profiles\<username>.pds. You will be logged on with a local
profile. Changes to the profile will not be propagated tothe server. Contact
your network administrator.

Warning 2:
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary
profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.

Both of these errors go away when I click okay and the machine logs on to
the Samba PDC just fine and I can carry out normal operations.
By the way, below is my samba config:


[global]
        workgroup = PDC
        netbios name = PDCSERVER
        server string = Samba Server
        security = user
        password server = SAMBA-SRVR
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        domain logons = yes
        logon drive = C:
        logon home = \\PDCSERVER\%u
        logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
        guest account = smbguest
        invalid users = root
        domain admin group = smbadmin
        log level = 2
        os level = 99
        wins support = yes
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
        preferred master = yes
        log file = /var/log/samba.log
        logon script = logon.bat

[Profiles]
        comment = Roaming Profile Share
        path = /usr/local/samba/profiles
        read only = No
        profile acls = Yes
        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = No
[netlogon]
        path = /usr/local/samba/netlogon
        guest ok = Yes

Is there something wrong with my config? How can I correct this profile
problem?
