We're doing a test deployment of a Samba 3.0.33 server (RHEL 5.4) which is slated to replace two existing file servers -- one running Windows 2003 (known as qalab_server) and another running Samba (known as qalinux).
We've brought the new server up and are trying to test client access to it to both DNS names by overriding the hosts files on certain clients. >From a Linux client, overriding the IP in DNS for qalinux and qalab_server works fine.. our Linux client can connect and access shares via both names just fine. >From a Windows XP client, while the qalinux name works fine, the qalab_server name pops up and authentication prompt and the following appears in the smbd.log file on the new server: [2009/09/14 17:35:14, 1] smbd/sesssetup.c:reply_spnego_kerberos(316) Failed to verify incoming ticket with error NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE! Do XP clients do some additional checking to see if there's another server out there with the same name? We've modifed both the hosts and lmhosts file on the XP client and also tried setting up the "netbios aliases" config option on the new server to no avail. At one point I noticed an error in nmbd.log file: [2009/09/14 17:11:50, 0] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name_response(130) register_name_response: server at IP 10.49.4.92 rejected our name registration of QALAB_SERVER<20> IP 10.49.104.69 with error code 6. Indicating that we probably lost some sort of election to the "real" Win 2k3 server... however, the Fedora client via smbclient still happily connects without complaints with the QALAB_SERVER name...
