[Samba] Trusted domain user login

Greetings,

We are currently experiencing logon problems with a trusted domain user(s).

Example: We have DomainA and DomainB
DomainA and DomainB both have workstations joined on their respective
domain.
DomainA and DomainB both have trust relationships. DomainA trusts DomainB
and vise versa.
DomainA is where being served by a Samba PDC, while DomainB has a PDC using
Windows NT 4.0 Server

When users from DomainA logs in to DomainA using the workstation joined
under DomainA and/or DomainB, they can login without any problems.
The problem occurs when users from DomainB logs in to a workstation joined
under DomainA. The logon script is not executed and the user profile is not
loaded.
This problem does not occur when users logs in from DomainB workstations.
(their logon script is executed and profiles are loaded properly)

-We've checked that DomainB user can access the netlogon share from the
workstation (DomainA). Running it manually works.
-We've checked that DomainB user can access the profile share from the
workstation (DomainA).
-Tried different user and workstation but still same problems.
-We've tried updating samba to 3.0.28 but still same problem (we went back
to 3.0.23c please see reason below).
-Tried searching the net for same issue and tried some solutions, but still
did not work.
-Tried looking at log files, but could not find obvious errors.

The Samba version were using is 3.0.23c
The server is running CentOS 5.1 x86_64 version.
The original Samba version (3.0.25b) which came with the distro had some
problems. Changing passwords from Windows does not seem to fix it.
Downgrading to 3.0.23c seems to work.

If posting of the log files is needed, please tell us which log file to
look/post.
Thank you very much for taking time to read this post.

Regards,
Jay
