[Samba] Samba mixing Domain & Server name

[Stuart Bailey]

Hello,
I have a SLES10 64bit machine running samba 3.5.12.
i have configured a domain (TASC), and set the servers netbios name to TUX.
Samba is using the tdbsam backend.

Now I have add machines to the domain, and users can logon using their domain 
accounts TASC\user.
However, if the network is disconnected, in the case of laptop users going 
offsite, they cannot logon anymore. I have now discovered that if they use the 
server name TUX\user, they can logon to their account.

I found a posting that suggested the 'domain logons' was not set to yes, but in 
my case it is.

Any suggestions a s to what I have done wrong would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Stuart

All the SIDs match up.

browse.dat has the following entries (user machines excluded)
