Well,

I am still having this problem, but have captured it in a logfile. It
was in the 2003 DC security log.

I seems that the computer object password in the AD is changed. Why ?
And why would winbind not negotiate in a normal manner so this could be
avoided.

See logfile below... Does anyone has a clue why this is happening ?

Greetings ...
