kerberos logon failure

I recently started receiveing an error message on a Win2K server that has SQ
L 2000 on it. Yesterday. users began having read-only access to a database
that clearly states they have read/write access. At around the same time th
at this occured, I noticed
in the security log that the Kerberos account experienced logon failure with
Event ID 537. This error code just states unable to logon for unknown reas
on. Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated.
DaveNot sure I understand the question - what do you mean by read-only access?
If you look at sp_protects or something similar in the database are the
user's permissions changed?

|||The kerberos error could be caused by duplicate Netbios names. This could
be due to parent child/domains.
This would happen if the machine with same netbios name exists in the
parent
domain. So when a user in parent domain gets authenticated, he accesses the
machine
account listed in AD users and computers for the machine account in parent
domain.
However the child domain user will access the machine in child domain.
Also, when
using the IP or FQDN, the duplicate netbios names are not causing problems
and
hence would work.
