Hi,
   I have setup Samba 3.0 as PDC and all the desktops are able to login
and no issues. One laptop user is not
   able to logon out side the office (PDC is not available). Win 2003,
he doesn't have such problem. How to enable cache so that
   user can logon even if domain is not available?
   I tried google, but my framing may not be right, so I didn't get any
help. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks and Regards,

THis sounds like an XP problem not a Samba specific problem. Once you have logged onto the network you should then be able to logon "offline." I would check Microsoft's support site, don't include Samba in your search strings. I would also run gpedit.msc on the XP machine and see if there are any security settings that can adjust the caching. I am pretty sure you can disable caching but I don't think it is the default.

Gpedit.msc -> Local Computer Policy -> Computer Config -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Security Options
    -> Interactive Logon: Number of previous logons to cache:

By default it is 10. I think that means it let the last 10 users to logon on online also logon off line. I don't think it means that you can only logon offline 10 times. (I have a laptop that I rarely logon to in the office and I have not had problems.)
