[Samba] Domain authentication failing after a period of time

[William R. Knox]

I have the output (collected from a snoop session on the Samba server - I
have no access to run Ethereal on the Windows boxes) and will forward it
to you directly (all 1504 packets). Please do let me know if you need
anything else, and thanks.
