[Samba] Offline logon from Winxp/2000 Client doesn't work

[Christoph Lutz]

Hello,

I've installed samba 3.0.24 recently and since then I cannot login on my 
Windowsclients if they are disconnected. If I have a connection 
everything is fine. I'm at a loss what else to do. The only hints for 
offline logons I've found all refer to the use of samba with ADS. I have 
only one samba server in my network(no winbind). The clients are 
unchanged to my prior installation which worked just fine for serveral 
years. I'm gratefull for any hint. I'm using Debian/Testing with kernel 
2.6.18-4
