samba - Sep 2009 - Slow login to Samba PDC from windows XP

Hi All,

I've narrowed this down to the "preparing networks" part of the
windows
login. I've setup a bridged machine to sit in between the Windows XP box 
and the network and filtered on only the Windows XP's IP.

Filter Log -> http://pastebin.com/m64bbd6eb
Samba global Conf -> http://pastebin.com/m662cc5da

The windows xp machine takes about 15-20 second to get to the login 
prompt (ctrl-alt-del) after that the login is quite quick. Is there 
anything I could look at in the smb.conf to speed things up? Any other 
suggestions/comments?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I think I have a similar problem. May be you could enable debug logging and
post the content of log.{computer name} while the log in is being processed.

Add this to smb.conf in the global section:

    log level = 3 passdb:5 auth:10
