[Samba] Re: multiple domain login failures

[John T Benedetto]

We are running a rather old version of Samba, so I don't 
know if this might apply to your problem or not...

We had similar problems when our network config changed, 
and WINS entries were no longer fed to DHCP clients. 
 Users that had previously logged in the workstation could 
still log into the PC, but someone who had never logged in 
before got the "domain not available" error (we have local 
profiles, not roaming; I assumed cached credentials). 
 While we have been trying to get the network guys to 
change the DHCP setup, our workaround was putting entries 
into LMHOSTS for the Samba server onto each affected PC.

As I said, maybe not relevant to your situation...
