[Samba] Windows XP suddenly can't login to PDC

[Micha Kersloot]

Hi,

I've got a Samba 3.0.2a PDC running for some time now (like more than a
year) with MS Windows XP clients. But suddenly on January 23 2006 none
of the clients where able to login anymore. The error on the client was
(translated from dutch):
Unable to connect to domain server.

The logfile on the samba side showed:
[2006/01/23 11:36:30, 2] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_open_connection(722)
  smbldap_open_connection: connection opened

  creds_server_check: credentials check failed.

  _net_auth2: creds_server_check failed. Rejecting auth request from
client COMPUTER3 machine account COMPUTER3$

I was able to solve the problem by upgrading to 3.0.21a, and rejoining
the MS Windows XP clients to the domain. But as i have now idea what
caused this problem, i don't know if this suddenly could happen again.
Anyone an idea what was going on?
