Hi Bruno,
Thanks, I understand that. Still, I'm not sure why Samba wouldn't use NTLM 
auth if Kerberos fails. It appears that Windows file servers do exactly 
that, since clients with incorrect clock can connect to Windows servers and 
are telling me that "Samba is not working for them, while Windows is".

Thanks,
   Leonid

Hi Leonid,

I don´t know the cause of this problem, but if you try add into your
netlogon script a line such as a "set time" in order to set the clock
to the same from the server?

Regards!
