In the lab I was working we had 10 computers, and the same thing. When the Samba PDC and the computers were installed, all was fine. The computers of the lab were updated regularly, and everything is working fine.
The problem is with a new network I am installing in other company. I think that the problem could be related with only newly installed computers, or maybe related with profile creation: I mean, with SP2 msgina.dll, if the profile is not in the server, the client crashes (as no file is created in the Samba server profile folder for the user). Anyway, I am astonished because I think this is an important problem that should happen with XP SP2 installations, and it seems only a few people is suffering it. Maybe there could be some others factors involved, but I used vanilla Xp SP2 windows intallations.
