In this test environment the Samba servers all use the master OpenLDAP server on the PDC, but the production system will have OpenLDAP servers (using master-slave replication) on all Samba servers.

If the XP client is enrolled onto the domain while connected to the PDC's network then it successfully authenticates against the domain on all three networks, incl after being relocated to either BDC network.

Thanks for that, it doesn't look like I should be being affected by that bug, here is the output I get:

# testparm -sv | grep interface 
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[netlogon]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC
        interfaces = 
        bind interfaces only = No

It is the same on all three machines except that the server role on the BDCs is ROLE_DOMAIN_BDC instead of ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC which it is on the PDC.
