I have my samba box running as a PDC. When users login to the domain, it takes a long time (3-5 minutes). I gets to the section 'Loading Personel Settings...' and just sits there for several minutes. I've also noticed that the login.bat script only works for root, and all that does is net use h: \\samba\homes. Here's my smb.conf file. Any help would be appreciated. [global]

Hi, I believe I've had a 'hidden' roaming profiles problem with Samba for a while (I have no idea when it first manifested itself - sometime between 3.0.2 and 3.0.21a). When I create a new user, their client workstation creates and updates the profile without any problems. Existing profiles used by existing client workstations are also fine. However, when I try to logon as an

Hi list, hi John, having seen last week a post (see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?m=107341768923846) that remind me some quirks I encountered, I'd like to see a preamble added to the chapter 12 of the howto.
