TNG-2.4.1; 1st domain logon succeeds, none after that

[Paul J Collins]

Hello everyone.

I've built and installed TNG alpha 2.4.1 on my Mandrake 6.1 box.  I
have been able to add a workstation to the domain by creating the
machine account using samedit::createuser and then doing the usual
from Network properties on the NT box.  The NT machine is NT4 WS SP5
running in a VMWare session.

Domain: ONDIOLINE
PDC: STO-KERRIG
Workstation: PSEUDOPOLIS

Domain login succeeds the first time I try it after the NT box boots.
The profile is created on the server's profile share, and I have
access to the PDC's shares.  I can access other user's home shares by
providing the relevant username and password.  However, if I log out
and then try to log in again as the same or a different user, I get
message about the roaming profile not being available.  I OK this
message and then I get the "domain not available" error.  If my cached
credentials were used, I can still access my own home share, but
trying to access another user's home share gives a "network name not
found" error.  When I look in the Event Log, there are four messages
from Rdr complaining about short SMBs and then a message from NETLOGON
saying that the domain is not available.

If I log out of the workstation and shut down and restart Samba, I can
log in once again, but once only.  After that I get the same errors
about not being able to contact the domain.

Below are my smb.conf and the relevant events saved from Event Viewer
as CSV.  I just realised that the data from the events was not saved
in the CSV.  Damn.  Also note that the NT box's time is about 5
minutes behind the Linux box's time.

I deleted all my samba logs before I tried this fresh.  The logs
resulting from the actions detailed above have been uploaded to
http://homepage.eircom.net/~sneakums/tng.tar.gz  The file is about
870KB; log level is 100.

I am not on the list; I will try to keep up via the Web archive, but
if you need any further info, please feel free to mail me.

Hope this is of use,

Paul.
