Hello @ll,

I'm having the following problem on a RHEL 3 Update 3, with the latest
official release packages for RHEL 3.

samba-common-3.0.9-1.3E.13.2
samba-3.0.9-1.3E.13.2

When changing the ip adress in /etc/krb5.conf to use the W2003 domain
controller for kerberos authentication instead of the current W2000 it
becomes impossible the login to this server using ssh.
The command  "$getent passwd" still shows all the users.
The command "$*wbinfo -t" *shows checking the trust secret via RPC calls
succeeded "$wbinfo -u" still lists me all the users.
The shares are still accessible using explorer, but simply when a user tries
to login using ssh it fails showing the following messages in smdb.log

Is there anything I'm missing to make this version work with a W2003 DC ?
