Hi.
I don't know if you've read my posts, or the logs we've posted, but I am 99%
positive that this is *not* the case.
I can watch the logs, and on loglevel 2, the machine opens the shares, does
*nothing* for ten minutes, closes the share, opens the shares again, loads
the profiles in a matter of seconds, and then logs me in. Higher logleves
show that for the duration of those ten minutes, the machine seems to be in
some sort of a loop. This line comes up a fair bit:
setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0
Looking back through the archives, you can see my much higher loglevel posts
here:

These profiles are fresh and clean -- we're talking 2MB, tops. And on a
100Mb LAN, we should be able to maintain profiles of 10MB without too much
difficulty.
I *know* that a bloated profiles causes problems, but I really, *really*
don't think that's the issue here. However, I'm willing to post anything
and do anything to help narrow the problem down.
