Hardly that's a matter of software version compatibility but rather is a
configuration problem.

I'm not very familiar with the Novell SuSE product, but few things come to
mind:

* Check the logs for any trails of the failed login
* Go to runlevel 3 (as the root, run "init 3") and try to login, see if that
works and logs are any different - that step will rule out problems with the
X login manager and xok group

Inclusion of the PAM configuration for login would help. Please find some
additional info about distributed CIFS authentication at
