samba - Apr 2003 - roaming profiles: login/logout takes too much time

Hi,

Im using roaming profiles on a FreeBSD 4.7 server for all the Win2K clients 
on the network. At this moment only 1 client is working on the domain.

The roaming profiles are working OK, but it takes such a long time (2 or 3 
minutes) to login or to logout. The server is quick enough (dual processor 
1Ghz, 512 MB memory, 230 GB harddisk), but why does this take so much time? 
It's very annoying.

On the W2K machine check the properties of "My Computer". On the tab
"User
Profiles" you can
choose where the files in "My Documents" will be stored.

Maybe you should switch your current profile to "Local". If it's
set to
"server steered"
(or similar term), win2k will always synchronise the files during 
logon/logoff.

P.S.: I hope i used the right terms above, because i'm using a german 
windows version.
