Re: [Samba] NT logon ok but XP logon very slow
We don't use roaming profiles, they're disabled ('logon path' and
'logon home' are null for all users and in smb.conf).
Moreover, I'm really under the impression that the smbd process just
freezes. During a couple of minutes there's no activity in log.smbd. I
also monitored the smbd with HP's 'tusc' tool, which allows monitoring
the system calls a process makes, and the smbd process just seems to
do nothing at all (no system calls) but take up all CPU.
We do have logon scripts, and an NT system policy file, but disabling
those didn't help either.
BTW, this is our current smb.conf:

While the developers in this forum can probably give you some ideas on
how to improve the situation, I suspect that it is a by-product of
roaming profiles. The way I understand it, a copy of your C:\Documents
Settings\username folder is stored on the server and this is
synchronised with your local version on startup and shutdown. Depending
on what you've been doing, this synching can take a considerable amount
of time.
One way to minimize the impact is to store your documents in a personal
folder on the network, rather than in My Documents. This way, the
synching has less to do.

Re: [Samba] NT logon ok but XP logon very slow
Hi Roel, Try Googling Loading your personal settings. Looks like there is a lot of stuff to try on the client side, and the problem appears to be common regardless of server platform. I am concerned about your No buffer space available log, though. Can you email me the entire logfile?
