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

[Hans-Peter Jansen]

Dear Samba citizens,

what kind of further information I can provide to get this tracked down?
This behavior really renders the samba domain controller service useless
here, but WinXP workgrouping is not an option. As another data point, w2k
also doesn't suffer from this problem.

Sorry for all this whining..

Regards,
Pete
