Ah yes, our samba is stand-alone, hence I don't need winbindd.
Another couple of ideas for Remush:
* have a look at the syslog for samba-related messages:
tail -n 1000 /var/log/messages|grep "smbd\|nmbd\|winbindd"
* I have reactivated a section on the tutorial webpage
http://www.edendevelopments.co.uk/dlsetup#tweakingsamba which
tells how to add some linux groups and map SIDs and ntgroups to them.

SMB/CIFS has evolved over time and I can't remember what the various Windows OS'es require and/or prefer NTLM2 vs. NTLM vs. ?!? etc. A delay _could_ be due to one protocol failing and the time it takes to fallback to the next. If you get fast transfers after the connection is established, it could be this. Just a suggestion, again, I could be very wrong.
