I had a similar problem a while back after upgrading Samba (sorry I
can't remember which version). Authentication to my 2003 Active
Directory server took *forever*. I solved it by downgrading to the
previously working Samba, and have since upgraded to a newer Samba with
no trouble.
During my investigation, I read a post that suggested
unjoining/rejoining the domain may be a fix.
