samba - May 2003 - Inefficient Winbind behavior? Not sure if it posted 1 st time.

Thanks for the response, Jerry.

Is there a way for me to verify this is happening?
Winbindd has been running for a few days now, and I just did a netstat and
the only connections to a DC are to the off-site one, the PDC.

Thanks.

Sven

Is should match one on the local subnet, but it binds to the 
PDC for a period of time after it has first joined the domain.
15 minutes or so IIRC.



cheers, jerry

Winbindd will maintain connections as long as possible.  
Restart winbindd and see if it doesn't bind to the BDC.  
My guess is that you joined the domain and imeediately 
started the daemon.  Since this was withing the 15 minutes 
period that winbindd decides it must bind to the PDC, it 
simply kept those connections up as long as possible.

If it still binds to the PDC after restarting, then send 
me a level 10 debug of from winbindd off list and I'll take 
a look at it.  Also include what version you are using (if you 
mentioned it before, I forgot).
