Profile updating and "Slow connection"

[Celso Kopp Webber]

Hi!
I'm having two problems with Samba, sources from today, 03/30/99.
1. When one user tries to modify his/her setting, such as the wallpaper
on Windows NT workstation, nothing gets changed. The only think the user
can change is the background color, but although files are created under
\\SMB-logon-server\profiles, when the user logs in again, his profiles are
reset to the default.
2. Whenever a user logs in, it takes a few seconds, and then she gets the
message "A slow connection was detected ... <Download> <Use local>". Even
if she downloads her profile, all changes are lost.

These worked for me on old versions (when the domain group = parameter
existed).

Thanks in advance for any tip. Relevant smb.conf is attached below
