[Samba] Fwd: Good installation documentation on samba4?

[Léon van der Kaap]

Thanks, I think I found the issue now. My system loves to be stubborn about
DNS. The fact that /etc/resolv.conf is automatically generated from
configuration probably didn't help either. I was convinced the DNS worked,
but the system decided otherwise. It readily explains the Kerberos issue.

The reboot of the system probably reset the DNS and it showed up as a
Kerberos issue.

You've all been very helpful with your comments. Thanks for helping me find
out where the issues were.
