[Samba] Huge delays on login/first access from WinXP clients on samba 3.0.4 PDC

[Hans-Peter Jansen]

Hi *,

after upgrade from 2.2.8a to 3.0.4, I'm suffering from ~10 min. delays on
login/first access of a share from a WinXPpro client to a samba 3.0.4 PDC
(SuSE 9.0). This is printed in the logs:

This effect doesn't happen with Win98SE as a domain client, or with a
WinXPpro client in workgroup mode. 

The samba packages are from the ftp.suse.com/project/samba.

I've tried to rejoin this XPpro client under a new name, with no effect.
After dismount these delays, it works as expected :-(.

>From reading the migration section in the HOWTO-Collection, I added a 
"add machine script" with the same value as "add user script" 
to smb.conf. 

Any hints are highly appreciated.

TIA,
Pete
