[Samba] problems in samba

[rani ahmed]

when i try to copy a folder 2MB size containing many files and folders it takes me abt 
20min long , while if i copy one whole sole 12MB pdf file it takes me 10 mostly. why?

my config file:

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the

# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too

# many!) most of which are not shown in this example

# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)

# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #

# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you

[Samba] i donno why i cnat login into the domain.

[rani ahmed]

hi. i am rani ahmed, a palestinian (superlinux if u recall). i use 
redhat 9.0 and samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0. i know that i should update my samba 
but i dont think my problem has to do with updating.
the file given is my samba config file.
btw: i think ur software is better than microsoft's file sharing. i mean 
that scientifically.
i am using DNS server (named). my unix domain is superlinux.com (fake 
domain)
i have 3 WinXP pc's :
jeansfly.superlinux.com
chickgun.superlinux.com
jetcow.superlinux.com

i used the key WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg.
when the 3 pc's are configured as a workgroup  and want it to login as 
Domain it finds the domain and i can logon. when i reboot to login as 
domain it tells me that the PDC is not there. WHY?
and how can i use the unix domain superlinux.com as my domain and not as 
just a name for 'workgroup' option?
i tell WinXP in the Computer Name tab in properties(My Copmuter) that 
the full name is e.g. 'jeansfly.superlinux.com' and not only 'jeansfly' 
by using the button(More) by adding the domain superlinux.com.
thank u.
