I see. I think was too specific in my question. I didn't mean to say
PDC. I am just wondering if the samba server must be part of a domain
(as opposed to just a workgroup) in order to host roaming profiles?

I can get the worm2K client to create a profile folder on the samba
server at logon time, but the perms don't match up. The client is
logging on to the samba server as smbuser 'shari' and creating a
folder. However, because the folder is owned by SERVER\shari instead of
the local CLIENT\shari account, it refuses to use it (even though their
logon credentials are identical).
