samba - Oct 2009 - Authenticating Samba 3.4.2 vs WinServer 2008R2

Hello! I'm having an odd issue between Samba and Win2k8R2. We updated
one of our domain controllers to 2k8R2, and as such are working in a
2003-level AD environment. If I force the 'password server' to the 2003
DC, then everything works fine, only working against the 2008 box has
issues.

 

I'm on a CentOS 5.3 box, and as part of the troubleshooting process
moved up to 3.4.2 from the default CentOS version.

Hello Mark,

we have several issues here depending on one of our servers (2008). E.g. 
domainnames (username at domainname) has to be written in capital lettres when 
connecting to shares...

did you try to set this to a higher level (and restart samba)? I always use 99 
so i get large logfiles with nearly all informations i need. The clientlog 
(log.clienthostname or log.clientip) could be interresting.
