[Samba] XP SP2 offline files sync delay (again)

[David Black]

Thought I'd reply to the list with a follow-up:

- If I uninstall my Cisco VPN client software, the delay goes down to 16 
sec.  Perhaps a newer version will work better with SP2.

- My PDC and backup PDC are dual-homed, and the client is (erroneously) 
trying to contact each one of their private interfaces, with 4 second 
timeouts - hence the 16 sec delay above.  I logged this on my firewall.

I'm going to post separately about dealing with a multi-homed situation.
