Thanks for your reply.

No, but I never broke the trust, only removed and re-added the single 
machine into the old NT domain.  If I break and re-establish the trust 
relationship, I'm worried about what else might break in the process. 
Don't want to make a problem worse in the process of fixing it.

Both wbinfo and getent passwd only show the info from the NTDOMAIN.  My 
username is actually the same on both, but NTDOMAIN is the default 
domain on this box.  Shoud it have shown "user" and "ADDOMAIN+user"?  I 
don't remember the latter being in the output of getent passwd before 
making this change either though.

It should also be noted that in auth.log, it does show the user 
ADDOMAIN+user being granted access, and session opened, so PAM seems ok 
with these users, it's smbd that's balking.

This does work, but I guess I would like to better understand why this 
broke in the first place.  Thanks a lot.  I really appreciate your time.
