[Samba] Problem with "kerberos method = secrets and keytab"

[Peter Serbe]

Hi Andreas, 

I convinced Rowland to change the wiki like that. You might want to check 
out the thread "Samba4 and sssd, keytab file expires?". Read it, and You 
will understand its implications. Even if it works now, it doesn't mean 
that it will work for long...

The first thing I would check is the kerberos setup. I would also check, 
whether DNS is OK for both forward and backward directions. Then I would 
either check sssd or winbind (depending on Your installation). It might 
be worthwhile to do all the checks without the offending entry in smb.conf. 

HTH
Best regards
Peter

PS: it can be pretty frustrating to get it working for the first time. 
But then it is rock solid. It might be a good idea to jump to 4.2.0rc4 - 
nearly all known bugs are fixed... (some might disagree, I am sure...). 
Do You plan to use RFC2307?
