Hi I am really not sure if this is related but I had a case sometime ago with a server that rebooted really reguarly and the problem was the nic that was faulty causing a kernel panic, but in these cases when there is really not much to go on from the logs For your possible deadlocks you could add into smb.conf strict locking = no Regards Per Qvindesland E-mail: per at norhex.com [1] http://www.linkedin.com/in/perqvindesland [2] --- Original message follows --- SUBJECT:?[CentOS] My server reboots every hour!

Looks like you had samba configured for LDAP type auth then switched to user auth and winbind is complaining about lookups. Thus if that is that case turn off winbindd. John
