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

[Michael Breuer]

Silly question... when you built samba, did you specify "with-profiles?"  I had the same symptoms at one time... that was my problem.  Also, in mh configuration (working with profiles) I have a [profile] share, but not a [profile$] share.  I'm not sure
that this matters.
