[Samba] Roaming Profiles Load Very Slowly

[Greg Koch]

The particular login that had that error was several logins ago.  The 
current logins are not producing any errors on the server side.  Logoff 
is almost instantaneous.  I am having problems with it even with editing 
NTUSER.dat and redirecting the folders to shares.  There has been a 
suggestion that it is name server related - WINS NMBD and DNS are 
working without error.  As I said before, I can access the shares from 
any computer without any problem, its just the login that takes forever, 
and as I have it right now with the redirected files, it should only be 
reading the NTUSER.DAT file from the server, and it STILL takes forever.
