Hi Rowland,

I have not noticed that the root account is limited in other respects on 
the VMs. It's just a long shot. If somebody has got information on this, 
I would be very grateful. Neither are there any firewalls involved 
(domestic test network).

I'm administrator of a larger domain with one Samba AD DC running under 
Qemu/KVM, and one AD DC under Xen on other hardware. The file server 
(Samba) is running straight off native hardware. That domain is based on 
Debian Bookworm backports (Samba 4.18.8), but I have kept updates back, 
until I know things work for myself. It's not very funny to get phone 
calls at 6 a.m., that nobody can log in, or other similar problems.

Best regards,

Peter
