I had a similar problem about a month ago with a Samba PDC setup with Win2K clients. I was running Smb 2.2.3a and upgraded to 2.2.7. Well, all sorts of problems came in with roaming profiles, sometimes they could not be found at all, other times the profile could not be copied back to the server (mostly this type of problem rather than not finding the profile in the first place) causing all sorts of data loss. I tried all sorts of things configuration wise, and ended up downgrading to 2.2.3a again, and the problem went away. Haven't reported the problem to Samba yet as I want to try again in a non-critical situation to confirm it and debug it properly.
BTW, I also had (and still do) problems joining the clients to the domain - windows kept complaining about the lack of "mapping between security ids and accounts" or something like that. Anyone got any clues?

G'day guys...
We have a Samba 2.2.6 PDC with MS Win XP clients (patch applied) and we use roaming profiles.
When logging in, some of the users regularly have problems. Often the roaming profile could not be located on the server (and I have to make them log off and on again). Sometimes the network connections seem to be flaky.
I've had the network ports tested between the socket and the patch panel, and all seems to be fine. I'm guessing the problem is in some software configuration. I've attached my smb.conf
Any help, pointers, references, etc greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
