[Samba] [SAMBA] Samba 4: Workstations unable to join, "The specified network name is no longer available"

[Carlo Rengo]

Hi,

first of all, sorry for my poor english.
I have installed Samba4 (stable tarball) on a fresh Centos 6.3 x64 server,
with the "classicupgrade" command.

With great difficulty I managed to correctly configure the DNS server
(bind).
"kinit", "smbclient" and "samba_dnsupdate - verbose - all-names" give the
desired output.
Starting samba daemon, this is the output:

lpcfg_load: refreshing parameters from /etc/samba/smb.conf
params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf"
samba version 4.0.0 started.

These two lines

single_terminate: reason[wbsrv_call_loop: tstream_read_pdu_blob_recv() -

are very suspicious, and reappear everytime I try to connect a PC to the
server, with a slightly different text:

Terminating connection - 'kdc_tcp_call_loop: tstream_read_pdu_blob_recv() -
NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED'
single_terminate: reason[kdc_tcp_call_loop: tstream_read_pdu_blob_recv() -
NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED]

After a minute, I see this message on the Windows Computer:
"The specified network name is no longer available"

These errors appear even if I try a different samba 4 version, by compiling
it from GIT or by installing a beta RPM from a repo. I've tried also with a
fresh samba setup (no import from samba 3), still with the same errors.
There's something I'm missing, does anyone know how to resolve this
problem? I'm struggling with it for days.

Thanks in advance
