I'm having the same problem as Jens.

I'm running samba-2.2.7a-1 on a RedHat 6.2 box (kernel 2.2.22).
I've fought a lot against my smb.conf to solve this problem, so
maybe it's not a clean one, however here it is:

[global]
  workgroup = MACONDO
  netbios name = SUPERPIPPO
  server string = Samba v%v (Logon Server)
  interfaces = eth0
  log level = 1
  log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
  max log size = 50
  mangle case = Yes
  socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=16384 SO_SNDBUF=16384
SO_KEEPALIVE

  max xmit = 65535

  password level = 0

  logon script = logon.cmd

  write raw = Yes
  oplocks = Yes
  getwd cache = Yes
  wide links = no
  hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24 127.0.0.0/8

[netlogon]
  comment = Logon scripts and policies
  path = /home/samba/netlogon
  writeable = no
  write list = bilo,root

[profiles]
