[Samba] Simple?? questions?

[Chris Trown]

      Greetings all!

      I have installed 3.0.5 on a Fedora Core2 systems with a hand-built 
kernel and I seem to have things mostly running.  I do have some 
questions that searches have been unable to produce an answer to. 
Hopefully, someone here can help.

      When I log on to the domain with an XP system(not SP2, yet), it 
takes forever.  It stops at "Loading/Saving your profile" for minutes. 
I don't see any errors in the log file.

      The next question arises mostly due to my inexperience with 
administering windows domains.  However, the more I think about it, the 
more I think it can't be done.  Is it possible to copy local profiles 
from a windows system to the profiles directory on the samba server and 
expect everything to work as if the profile were being loaded locally? 
By locally, I mean non-domain, local profile.

      Thank You for any help you can send my way!
