[Samba] Windows 7 domain logon timeouts was Re: Domain login delays w2k8 R2

[Åke Holmlund]

Great!!! Your first suggestion (Set maximum wait time...) seems to
fix my problem! Now I can turn my attention som some other delays/
performace problems (not w2k8 related). And then there is the small
"printing from 64-bit clients" problem... Maybe I will get back to
those problems in another post ;-)

Thank's a millon!
