samba - Jul 2003 - Logging in taking too long with roaming profile

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.

Any help would be appreciated.

FWIW, this does not happen with the same samba installation, and a Windows
2000 workstation, all service packs, patches, etc.  Logging in takes all of
about three seconds.

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.

Okay, I bumped the log level up to 10.

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).
