Thanks for the help. Pointing me to the bind configuration did it. It still
contained some old lines that proved unhelpful. There was an old local file that
pointed to some subdomain that is no longer present. Removing this has allowed
me to join.

As you already saw the ZEUS smb.conf file also contained some old crud. I'm
going to clean this up tonight.

Thanks again,
Nico

Kerberos needs clocks to be synchronized too... 660 seconds should be too
mumch (5min by default max between client and server).
