Yes, it can be maddening, and you have identified clock skew as a reason
to mysteriously stop winbind working.

Some other gotchas:

Samba permissions only work if the corresponding Unix permissions are in
place. So if you grant a user write access in Samba, they must also have
write permission in the *nix filesystem, or they will be writing nothing.

Cannot give you a definitive list but some changes in Samba permissions
will take effect immediately, while other require a log off/on to take
effect. That can be maddening.
