[Samba] Making Red Hat 3 Authenticate against AD Domain

[Kevin Riggins]

Are you using uppercase for the username at domain.com value when you
execute the kinit command?  I have had problems with lower case.

ex.  kinit ADMINISTRATOR at DOMAIN.COM

Thanks for the link and info. I have tried it, but when I get to the
testing kerberos I get an error.

command: kinit ADMINISTRATOR at domain.com
error: kinit(v5): KDC has no support for encryption type while getting
initial credentials

FYI: All I want to do is allow my users, once they logon on to there
domain computers, map to their directory on the web server through
domain authentication instead of the local /etc/passwd file.
