Do you have roaming profiles turned on?  Do you see your network 
usage spike on login or logout.  If you have roaming profiles turned 
on and it is a huge profile, this could be the problem for slow 
logins and logouts.  I don't think this is related to your other 
problems though.  try turning roaming profiles off on a machine or 
set login patch =

in smb.conf
