[Samba] Domain Logon Credential Caching

[John Price]

Please also note that the message Gareth Cummings posted
on Thu, Oct 9, 2008 regarding my password caching issue
fixed my problem, and it was a samba problem, not a client
problem.  The DOMAIN line contained the hostname of my
samba PDC and not the domain name. Once that was changed,
password caching worked.

I will repeat the solution below.

Thanks Gareth.

Do a pdbedit -Lv username and make sure that the DOMAIN
line contains the correct domain name, if it doesn't do
the following and it should fix it for you

pdbedit -i tdbsam -e smbpasswd
pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam

Thanks,
John
