[Samba] Win2K Clients Getting Password Prompt When Trying To Access Samba Shares

[A. Clausen]

I'm running Samba 3.0.4 with Kerberos 5 v 1.3.4.  I'm accessing Win2k 
shares from the Samba box without a hitch, but whenever I try to open up 
Samba shares on the Win2K clients, I get a password prompt.  If I access 
the shares via the IP address of the Samba machine, there's no problem.

I don't know if this is relevant, but my Win2k PDC is showing the 
following error on a regular basis

Pre-authentication failed:
  	User Name:		mp1$
  	User ID:		ALBERNI.NET\mp1$
  	Service Name:		krbtgt/ALBERNI.NET
  	Pre-Authentication Type:	0x0
  	Failure Code:		0x19
  	Client Address:		64.141.6.251


Below is my configs:

# user level security. See the HOWTO Collection for details.
    security = ADS

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page

    max log size = 50

# Use password server option only with security = server

;   os level = 33

# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
