It's usually better to set "password server" to "*". 2. Your realm is wrong; it should be just the domain, baladia.local. 3. Add "netbios name = [your server's hostname]" 4. Add "wins server = [your wins server(s)]" 5. "client use spnego" should likely be "yes" 6. Add "client ntlmv2 auth = yes". 7. Add "smb ports = 445" 8. Add "local master = no" 9. Add "domain master =no" 10. Add "preferred master = no" I don't know if that's going to solve your problems. "no logon servers" indicates either a deeper problem (e.g. network issue), or simply that you've specified the wrong server to use for checking passwords against. BTW, I still don't know why you have two "kdc" entries in your krb5.conf file. You only need one.
