[Samba] Samba 4 "Classic PDC" trusts fail with Win 2012 domain but succeed Win 2008

The trusts aren't really working with Windows 2008 either (where DOMAINC 
is the Windows 2008 domain.)



    # /usr/local/samba/bin/net rpc trustdom establish DOMAINC
    Enter DOMAINA$'s password:
    Could not connect to server DOMAINC_DC
    Trust to domain DOMAINC established
    #



Active Directory Domains and Trusts MMC on the  Windows 2008 AD DC  
(DOMAINC_DC) seems to think the trusts are OK.

The security and system logs however shows that the SambaPDC is failing 
to login to the DOMAINC_DC  with the domain trust account.   Looks like 
it first tries with kerberos (which I would expect to fail) then with 
NTLM.     DOMAINC_DC has dual IP addresses (which is a result of 
consolidating some DNS servers.)


The security log on the DOMAINC_DC shows

    This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated
    on the computer where access was attempted.

    The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which
    requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the
    Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.

    The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested.
    The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).

    The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on
    the system requested the logon.

    The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request
    originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left
    blank in some cases.

    The authentication information fields provide detailed information
    about this specific logon request.
         - Transited services indicate which intermediate services have
    participated in this logon request.
         - Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the
    NTLM protocols.
         - Key length indicates the length of the generated session key.
    This will be 0 if no session key was requested.

The trust password looks OK

 From a linux client (samba ver 4.3.12)

     > smbclient -L \\DOMAINC_DC -U 'DomainA$'
    Enter DomainA$'s password:
    session setup failed: NT_STATUS_NOLOGON_INTERDOMAIN_TRUST_ACCOUNT

     (with the wrong password I get NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE)


But from the samba PDC (samba ver 4.4.7)

    #/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient  -L \\DOMAINC_DC -U 'DomainA$'
    Enter DomainA$'s password:
    session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE


Appreciate any advice.

Thanks
