Furthermore, this event log message may be of use:

SOURCE: Kerberos
CATEGORY: None
Event ID: 4
The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server
host/lfn-svr-1.lfn.net. The target name used was
ldap/lfn-svr-1.LFN.net/LFN.net@LFN.net. This indicates that the password used
to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target
server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the
target realm (LFN.NET), and the client realm. Please contact your system
administrator.

Where LFN-SVR-1 = the server name and LFN.net = the domain...
