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

[Andreas Hauffe]

Hi Peter,

thanks for your hints. The point is, that no /etc/krb5.conf was generated automatically when 
joining the domain (told in the wiki). Now I generated one manually and now it works.

I'm not frustrated at all. I see a lot of advantages for me, even if it doesn't work. Right now we 
have a system with Bind9, OpenLDAP, Kerberos, NFS4, Samba3 on the server side. I had to 
configere each service separatly and then make them work together.

Now all is one service with one wiki and one mailing list, if I'm having trouble. The different 
services inside Samba4 already work together. And up to now I always got a feedback from the 
samba mailing list. So everything is fine! Thanks to all!!
