I have an entry in my smb.conf file that gives a logon path. This is where your roaming profile is stored.

logon path = \\%L\profile\%U (under global options)

Then I created a share called profile and made it read/write to everyone.

[profile]
path = /share/profiles
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
nt acl support = No
browseable = No

Make sure that you have the proper unix permissions set right also. When Win2K logs on it will look at the path for a profile (basically a dir named after the user). If it finds one it will use it, or it will create one. You will also notice the "nt acl support = no". I'm not sure what the deal is with that, but when I had problems with my profiles that seemed to take care of it.
