Hello, I am trying to setup a network of 5 XP computers with roaming profiles. I've got a profile set up on the server and I can log on. The problem is that the log in time takes about 10 mins and the log out takes just as long. Here is a link to the log file from the samba server. I have made comments on it to show what is happening on the terminal. http://www.sentex.net/~ekwan/log.cspc01 Any help would be appreciated.

So we've narrowed this down to a problem with XP and Samba 3.0b[13]. Can anyone give a hand at trying to figure out /exactly/ what's going on? The only thing I can think of doing next is to really bump up the logging level.

Oddly, the first workstation I tried stopped the delay immediately afterwards -- I could log in in five seconds flat. So I tried another workstation. There *lots* of logs -- if anyone feels like looking at it, see http://www.sentex.net/~damian/logon.log. There's a fair bit of what looks like repeated logging in there, but this is way beyond my ability to figure out (I go glassy-eyed just looking at the thing).
