Again thanks for your time.
You mean to say that, where Samba is working as PDC, XP and Ubuntu are
working as a client, users could not have the roaming profile, and they can
not work seamlessly across any ubuntu and XP client.

Any way, my Samba is working over ebox 1.4, where ldap is working as backend
for samba.
I don't have security exception, whereas user A can access to his home
folder as well as public folder and same way user B.

I am looking for the linux tools (as you said) which will authenticate the
user at the time of logon itself (like wise in XP).
