samba - Dec 2006 - "smbclient -k" fails, used to work - kinit still ok

Hi All,

I've run into a strange problem, which so far I haven't seen reported by
anyone else recently.
A while back I set up a Linux box (SUSE 9.2) to authenticate (using kerberos)
against a w2k3
AD domain. A nice side effect of this was that I could use "smbclient
-k" and save typing in
my password again.

I didn't have cause to use smbclient for some time, until the other day,
when I found that
"smbclient -k" no longer worked. Basic kerberos login was still fine
(i.e. kinit worked,
PAM kerberos integration still good)

Investigating further, I went over to a fresh SuSE 10.1 installation and
upgraded it to
the latest Samba release (3.0.23d). I then followed the steps in the main HOWTO.
Still no dice - this is what happens:

In essence, the server "asl4" (which is the w2k3 server) appears to
close the connection and kick me off.

However, it has granted me a ticket - as shown by klist:

Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1001

Using smbclient in the traditional way (supplying a username and password) works
perfectly.
I assume that some recent win2k3 patch or update has changed things, because I
used to
have a working system - but I haven't seen anyone else posting a similar
problem to the list
or bugzilla.

I'm very happy to run tests, gather more information, etc. - just need a
pointer as to
where to look next!

Cheers
