Problem with [homes] under 3.0.23x

Hello,

I found another strange problem while migrating from 3.0.22 to 3.0.23x (with 'x' eq 'd' now):

I can't access my [homes]-share anymore - if i try, the samba-server prompts me for a password. What *is* working is accessing the same directory as [<username>]...

E.g.: \\Sambaserver\matthias works  whereas
     \\Sambaserver\homes    works *not*

Unfortunaely it is essential for some of our processes to access the specific homedir of each user with the same sharename. It did work again after downgrade to 3.0.22. This implies that I didn't change anything on the samba configuration. The server is a member of an W2k3-AD-Domain. OS is FreeBSD 5.5 and 6.2

If I look at the log-files, everything looks fairly good, the homes-Service is mapped to the right directory, the (Win-) Username is mapped to the right unix account - no obvious problems in this area.

The only problem I found in the logfiles is a failure to decrypt incoming ticket (I think, this is why the password request pops up) when I try to access the homes-share. As said before, no problems when accessing all the other shares (there are lots!). What is different when accessing the homes-share?

I tried MIT-Kerberos as well as Heimdal 0.64 (IIRC, FreeBSD base), no difference. This makes kind of sense to me, because *if* it's a kerberos-problem it should be there with 3.0.22 as well, isn't it?

The most strange thing at the end: On my workstation (FreeBSD 6.2 as well) it works. Same config (I checked *every line, /etc/krb5 *and* /usr/local/etc/smb.conf), same kerberos, also samba 3.0.23d - I have no idea what's going right here and wrong on the other machines. Perhaps a different encryption of the tickets? But how can I influence this? The ticket I get after 'kinit' is arcfour-encrypted - on the (not working) server as well as on the (working) workstation.

Any suggestions and further questions are welcome...

Matthew
