OK Here it goes....
I have a Xserve running 10.3.6. The servers main purpose is file server in a mixed client envioment. The clients are mostly XP W2K OSX and OS9.
I am experiancing very strange connectivity problems with the W2K and XP clients. Connecting using the IP address works fine for most but using the name is very slow. Sometime I can improve the performace for a few hours if I reboot the server. Some users can only connect using the IP address. If they try to use the name they get an error message that says that there user name is not vaild. I can do lookupd and kinit lookups on the user ID's and get no errors. It would appear to me that the authentication is working.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have been struggleing with this for a few months now. Also do I need to generate a krb5.keytab file from my W2K3 controller? I seem to remember seeing something about that but can't find the article again.
If there are any soup to nuts articles on how to get Kerberos working 100% I would appreciate being pointed to them. I have looked but have only found partial articles.
Thanks,
Brian
