samba - Apr 2012 - After Samba upgrade, trust relationship always fails

Hello,

For a long time I've been running Samba 3.5.10 as a domain controller on RH
Enterprise 5, with Windows 7 clients.  Everything has worked fine.  But since I
recently upgraded to Samba 3.6.4, I have a persistent problem with users not
being able to login to the client machines successfully because they get the
"Trust relationship has failed" message.  I can join the client
machines to the domain without any problem, but the client logins always fail. 
The smbd log file shows repeated instances of the
"netlogon_creds_server_check failed" message.

I've gone through all of the troubleshooting procedures recommended in the
O'Reilly Samba book and they all checked out.  I've also tried deleting
and recreating the Samba machine accounts, and also rejoining the clients to the
domain.  I'm at the point where I've run out of ideas.  Can anyone
suggest anything further that I could try?

Thanks very much,
Eric

Hi again folks,

I finally got this problem fixed, although why it is fixed I don't know. 
What I did was to change the name of the domain in the smb.conf file, then
delete my client from the old domain and join it to the renamed domain.  Then
the logins worked!  I don't know why just changing the domain name would
have this effect though.

Eric
