Samba authentication - domain vs server?

[John Abreau]

I had a problem with a samba server that stopped working a couple weeks 
ago; it started failing to authenticate users against the Samba PDC on 
another server. It was configured with "security = domain", and had 
worked fine since before I started working here. The PDC was built using 
the IDEALX smbldap-tools.

Changing the setting to "security = server" got it working again, but 
I'm not sure what the differences are between "domain" and "server", or 
why it worked for so long and then  failed. The results I found in 
google only indicated that others had tried this change, but they didn't 
seem to know why it worked, either.

The error I'd see in the samba logs when trying to connect to the server was

    NT_STATUS_TRUSTED_RELATIONSHIP_FAILURE

Any ideas what might be going on here?
