- The first thing to do is to make sure your DNS is working fine on your
LAN. It probably is, but the right answer is often the simplest. Assuming
that you can ping the server and that DNS is set up correctly throughout your
network, then move on to the other suggestions below.
- Look at the /etc/krb5.conf and make sure that where it says
"example.com/EXAMPLE.COM" that your Domain/Realm settings match up.
- Make sure that you are using the latest version of Samba, 3.0.13, and
that you have gone through the Official How-to.
