What does 'pdbedit -L -v josef' reveal on the Samba server? It sounds
almost like the user account for josef might have been created before
the Samba server was converted to a domain controller; in this case,
that account will be considered a local account on the Samba server
instead of a domain account. If this is the case, then you may find it
easiest to remove the user account and recreate it.

This of course poses issues with user profiles -- josef's user profile
will likely be associated with OBELIX/josef instead of ISARLBERG/josef,
and once you successfully log in to the domain, a new user profile will
be created for ISARLBERG/josef. There are ways of overcoming this; if
you experience this issue feel free to write me back and I'll explain
how to fix it. It's not that difficult -- it involves replacing ACLs on
the profile, user registry hive (NTUSER.DAT), and modifying a registry
entry in the HKLM hive.
