This may be a stupid question (I am curious though) -- could you please 
post errors associated with the problem? What were the errors on Linux 
boxes when users were unable to authenticate? What were the errors when 
XP boxes could not authenticate? Any errors in event viewer on Domain 
controllers? Are the client machines in question communicating with 
domain controllers during of the failed authentication attempts?
