Sorry, Ill be a little more specific.
1. I create user "Joe" 2. I give "joe" a password 3. "joe" logs on and the FOLDER /home/profile/joe (aka. \\www\profile\joe) is created. 4. IF a profile exists in \\www\profile\joe and NOT locally, it will read it from the server. 5. IF a profile exists LOCALLY, it will NOT read from the server. 6. In BOTH situations, the profile files will NOT be saved to the server.
If you have a local profile, that will be used. That is normal behavior.
If you client uses the roaming profile it should write it back only if the
profile contents has changed during the current session. It will only do
that it the profile that is on the workstation is registered as a roaming
profile.

Nathan,
Workstation default user profiles go in: C:\Application and User Defaults\'username'
Roaming profiles go in:
logon path/'username'
ie: If "logon path = \\server\profiles"
Fred's profile will go in \\server\profiles\fred
If the UNIX path for the [profiles] share is: /home/profiles Fred's profile under UNIX will be in /home/profiles/fred
Note: You must create the directory 'fred' under the profile share
because
Samba does not automatically do that for you. If the directory does not
exist, the profile will not be saved.

Perhaps I have a faulty Windows setup because I used the group policy
editor gpedit.msc and set it to delete all profiles after you logout
and to wait for roaming profiles. Perhaps I should re-install? Also,
where are the profiles supposed to go? The same place it downloaded it
from; the "logon path"?

I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and Samba 3.0.1 and I can't seem to get roaming profiles to work right. When there are no profiles stored locally on the win2k machine, and a user logs in for the first time, it successfully reads the profile from the server in the \\netlogon\Default User share. Next, if you manually copy the profile to server and login to the workstation, it will read the profile.
The problem comes in when any changes are made to the profile or if
a
profile exists (for that user) on the workstation, it won't read the
profile from the server nor will it update the profile on the server
when they log off. I can't tell if this is a Windows problem or a
Samba
problem, but everything looks like it set correctly in Samba and on
Windows and I just don't know what to do now!
What you see is the correct Windows behavior. Windows will read the
Default Network Profile only the to create the users' default
profile.
That default will be stored on the local windows workstation in the
default location. If roaming profiles are enabled, the users' default
profile will be written to the profile share in a directory named as
the
user.
You can configure the workstation to delete a roaming profile on logout. Whent that is done, if the user has a 'per user' default profile it will be used in preference to the Network Default User profile.
