Samba 3.0.4, ADS, W2K3 PDC, and Windows XP

[sleipnir214]

I've run across a strange problem with Samba.

Here's the layout:[ul][li]An active directory domain with W2K3 servers as PDC and BDC.[/li][li]An XP workstation that is a member of the AD domain[/li][li]A Linux (Fedora Core 2, Samba 3.0.4) machine that is also a member of the AD domain[/li][/ul]

I am attempting to browse the Linux machine from the XP machine by going to Start/Run and entering [blue]\\machinename[/blue] in the dialog box. When I do this, a username and password box opens, and there are no credentials I can enter that will give me access to the Linux box. At the same time, the Samba log on the Linux machine reports:

[tt]smbd/sesssetup.c:reply_spnego_kerberos(174) Failed to verify incoming ticket![/tt]


Here's the fun part...

If I attempt to browse the Linux box from the XP box by entering [blue]\\x.x.x.x[/blue] (the IP of the Linux box) in the Run dialog box, I get right in and Samba reports no errors.

Also, if I attempt to browse the Linux box from an XP box that is not a part of that same AD domain, either by entering [blue]\\machinename[/blue] or [blue]\\x.x.x.x[/blue], I get a username/password dialog that works on the first try and Samba reports no errors.


Can anyone give me a handle on this one?

first thought, as simple as this sounds...

reset the passwords for the samba and linux accounts to match the ad account that you are using

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.

I just tried as you suggested.

Unfortunately, the behavior is still as I described.
