I've seen this error whenever I upgrade Samba; it appears to invalidate
the previous domain membership, even though I copy the secrets.tdb etc.
files across to the new version.

I think I've also seen it when I tried joining a domain that Samba was
already a member of - it cancels the previous membership?

The only workaround I've found to date is to delete the machine from the
domain on the domain controller, add it back and the join the domain
from Samba ("smbpasswd -j domain".)  The last step may not be strictly
necessary, but it confirms that Samba and the DC are on speaking terms
again.

Any ideas on how to avoid these problems would be appreciated.
