Samba pdc- use ONLY local profiles?


Hi guys,
I currently have a samba pdc all setup and ready to put to work on my XP workstations. On the test system I am able to login using a mandatory profile that I made, and the user accounts are properly storing files in their home shares...... so everything seems great.... BUT.....

I am wondering if the following is possible: Is there a way to use only the local profile that the Admin account of the XP workstation is using, and completely ignore mandatory and roaming profiles? Basically I would like for users to login and see exactly what they would see if they were not joined to the domain..... with the exception of having their home share for private storage. I don't want anything else being written back to their profiles.

Why do I want to do this you might ask?-- I quite simply just want users to have the benefit of their own private storage. I would like their desktop experience to be exactly the way it is when not joined to the domain (ie- XP local profile).
