I've actually seen this before, with Windows XP machines accessing shares
on other Windows machines.

I have yet to find a cause or a solution to solve this problem.  2 sec.
clock skew really isn't enough to do that much, even with Kerberos
authentication.

Do the samba logs reveal anything?  Does this happen to all Windos 2000(or
whatever) machines, or is it just a single incident?

Thanks
