    I pin pointed the problem to a security issue.

    Apparently the use or Administrator group must own the profile directory, but
    if I change the profile path to /home/user/%u then that current owner does
    own the directory ( i did do a chown just to be sure).

    Sooo

    According to M$ when SP 4 is installed on 2k pro...

    "In the released version of Windows XP (before Service Pack 1), and versions
    of Windows 2000 earlier than Service Pack 4 (SP4), Windows does not check the
    permissions of the target roaming profile folder if it already exists when a
    roaming user profile is created. This behavior might permit an individual to
    create another user's roaming profile folder in advance and to set
    permissions that might permit the creator of the folder to visit the folder
    later. The creator might then be able to modify the user's roaming user
    profile, or to deny access to the legitimate user."

    Sooooo the question now being: How the hell do I make this work?

    All the fixes I found by MS to edit the group policy, but doesn't that
    require Active directory?

    p.s MS's tech note is here:

    Thanx in advance
