Auto generating domain default profile with Samba
Ran into a problem generating a profile for a new domain users. I created the users home folder directly on the Samba box. But the NT 4.0 driven domain could not create a profile for them, because the "Domain Admin" didn't have permission to write to the users \\sambaserver\home\username\ folder. So I need to determine what domain account "writes" the \\PDC\NETLOGON\Default User folder to the users domain profile location. And map that windows user to a unix user. Or maybe there is another workaround, because I was trying to avoid making privledged Windows users have privlege on the Unix side of things.
