[Samba] workstation service failing on Windows XP (Samba + LDAP)

Hello All,

Greetings,
I am having problems with about 80% of my Windows XP machines that=20
are connected to a PDC. The PDC is running Fedora Core 2, Samba 3.0.3-5, =

openldap 2.1.29-1 ***, and kernel 2.6.5-1.358. The XPs that don't work=20
are all very new machines and I am guessing that they are running a=20
different version of XP than the ones that do work. All of the Win98=20
machines I have connected to the PDC work without any problems.

Whenever the troublesome XPs successfully authenticate to the PDC,=20
the workstation service (a.k.a. svchost.exe) dies. This closes the=20
connection to the PDC (no drives can be mapped, roaming profiles cannot=20
be found, etc). I can manually restart the workstation service, log off, =

then log back in and everything works fine until the XP machine is=20
rebooted. Searching the internet, I have concluded that this is either a =

Samba bug or an ldap misconfiguration (or both) combined with the usual=20
Microsoft crud. My question is : Is there a newer version of samba or a=20
hotfix for XP that will correct this? If it is a ldap misconfiguration,=20
can someone guide through a unmisconfiguration :) ? I am willing to post =

my smb.conf, any ldap conf file, and any more info upon request. I=20
greatly appreciate anyone who helps.

I have a similar issue. I however run Nitix a flavour of Linux. When an
account is deleted and then readded with the same name on the Nitix box,
Windows fails to authenticate the user and says " server cannot be =
found".
Is it possible that the profile for the deleted user still resides =
somewhere
inhibiting future logins for users of the same name.

Please advise.
