Good morning all! I know this is not a Samba problem... It's a Windows 2008R2 AD problem! It would seem that in the last 72 hours, there has been some kind of AD/KRB/Encryption update that changes things a bit. I'm using Win2008R2, CentOS 5.5-x86_64 and Samba-3.5.6. I join about ten machines a week to the domain using a cookie cutter configuration setup, and all of the sudden this morning I can't do a kinit --- I was getting: kinit(v5): KDC has no support for encryption type while getting initial credentials (When last night I could join just fine). Long story short, I had to change default_tkt_enctypes = des-cbc-crc default_tgs_enctypes = des-cbc-crc To default_tkt_enctypes = des3-cbc-sha1 rc4-hmac des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc default_tgs_enctypes = des3-cbc-sha1 rc4-hmac des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc In my standard /etc/krb5.conf and now life is good... So, hopefully this will help someone else who might be seeing this problem, but begs a question as well... Was my configuration broken to start with (having only a single choice for encryption), or did something else outside of the realm of the Samba/Unix World change (that we _know_ of)? -b
