Thanks Matthieu.

I've added "host msdfs = yes" to the [global] section of my smb.conf,
which I suspect you meant. I tried adding a [default] section and samba
complained when I started it, so I put it in [global] and it didn't
complain again.

I've tried logging out and logging in on one of the workstations. I
tried rebooting and logging in again. No joy - still the 10 minute
login. "host msdfs" doesn't seem to have helped. Unless I need to
reboot the server for some odd reason?

Now I'll get a tcpdump trace.
