Hello, everyone, 

This is the situation : 

We have 2 sites; one domain; 2 samba's on every site; one is PDC, the 
other is BDC. 
They both use LDAP; the LDAP has a master on the site where the PDC is; 
the slave LDAP is on the site where the BDC is. 

There is a user (ONE to be precise) that gives problems when working on a 
specific machine. 

When the user logs in using his machine; he can't access shares on either 
of the servers. When he logs in on any other machine, there is no problem 
whatsoever. When anybody else logs in using this user's machine, there is 
no problem either. 
It's only when the user logs in on that specific machine. 
The login is fine; I can see the user in the logs: 

  allier (192.168.3.196) connect to service netlogon initially as user 
mschijva (uid=1015, gid=100) (pid 25065) 
[2004/07/26 14:34:29, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(619) 
  allier (192.168.3.196) connect to service cvs initially as user mschijva 
(uid=1015, gid=100) (pid 25065) 

>From that point on, the shares can no longer be accessed. 

The machine HAS been used in the past in a domain with the same name, but 
with a different ID. 
The user receives the 'old' sambasid from the server to avoid local 
profile loss (deleting the user's local profile is NOT an option BTW). 

Where can I start looking for this ? 
Any ideas anyone ? 

Thanks in advance
