I recently set up a new RHEL4 server with samba-3.0.10 in a Windows 2003
server PDC domain.

I can log on as one user from different workstations on to the new samba
server. With several other users, I get this error:

Oct 18 16:41:34 samba-server smbd[2502]:   krb5_rd_req(CIFS/samba-server at MY.DOM) failed: Wrong principal in request 
Oct 18 16:41:34 samba-server smbd[2502]: [2005/10/18 16:41:34, 0] libads/kerberos_verify.c:ads_keytab_verify_ticket(113) 

[2005/10/18 16:41:42, 0] libads/kerberos_verify.c:ads_keytab_verify_ticket(113) krb5_rd_req(CIFS/SAMBA_SERVER.my.dom at MY.DOM) failed: Wrong principal in request

The users are able to log on to other servers just fine and should have all
the needed permissions to log on to the share.

Can anyone give me some clue what that error means?

Some relevant lines from smb.conf:

   workgroup = MY

   password server = pdc-server.my.dom
   realm = MY.DOM
   security = ADS
   client schannel = no
   use spnego = Yes
   client use spnego = Yes
   use kerberos keytab = Yes

  encrypt passwords = yes

   wins server = <pdc-server.my.dom ip>
