I am having a heck of a time creating a new samba PDC server. I have installed Samba 2.2.6 on a SuSE 8.0 system. I have defined the machines and users via smbpasswd, created the roaming directories and share points and the server starts with no problems.
All of the machines are XP with SignOrSeal set. What I am experiencing is the users are interegated for their userid/password as expected. I enter it and then I get "loading user settings" on the XP machines. This will sit for 10-30 minutes. Their profiles are empty on the server so the amount of data is small being sent across the wire. I see almost no network traffic during this period of time across the network. I have set log level = 10 and I see nothing unusual. It is running at 100Mbs half duplex to a switch/router with 2 XP machines. The same thing occurrs when it is a Samba 2.2.3 and a 2.2.5 system I have recreated this environment on another network and it works great. I imagine the problem must be with the samba machine somehow. It appears to FTP and sendmail with no bottlenecks. It is a brand new machine Athlon XP 2000+, 512M DDR and Raid controller. It does use an integrated Realtek TRL8100BL ethernet controller which I have seen some newgroups complain about. Any thoughts what I should look for to debug this system. I am pulling my hair out on this one. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
