Hi Phil...
I had a bit more of a google on "samba roaming profiles" and I think I
found a solution.
On the client machine that the error occurs on:
* log on as administrator
* Go to C:\Documents and Settings
* Delete the user's directory or rename the user's directory to
<username>.bak eg mkraus to mkraus.bak
Accordingly this sometimes happens with all Windows domains too.
Now to figure out why some Lotus Notes users experience problems...

Subject: Re: [SLUG] Samba networking problems.
smb.conf file attached?
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?
