Any more progress on Citrix Metaframe vs. Samba PDC?

I don't have anything to add other than to confirm Brian's findings.
We get at least a sixty second delay authenticating through our
Samba PDC (Solaris 2.6 on dual 300MHz Sun Ultra2) with Windoze
Terminal Illness Edition.   The Windows boxes are no slouches,
either (dual 450MHz Intergraph's), and the network is fully
switched 100baseT.

I am running head branch from late January.  I plan to make that
a little more current very soon, although we're having to make
changes very, very carefully.

Hopefully one of these days I can get in a trace it a little
further.
