[Samba] kinit works, net join ads fails

I actually had this happen to me not too long ago with Samba 3.0.25c. My 
problem was that I didn't set the ADS mode properly. You're always warned to 
set workgroup equal to the the pre-windows2000 domain name.

So, just a few things to check:

1.) Typo's in the realm name.
2.) Typo's in the krb5.conf file (I use heimdal)
3.) Try running the net ads join with the administrator account (if you're 
using another account).
4.) Checking the the AD server to make sure that you don't have an old 
machine account for the Samba machine.

Hope that helps.
