Hi there, We just upgraded from Samba 3.0.0 to 3.0.2a last weekend. It was working well for a short time but then I restarted smbd and winbindd, and for some unknown reason the user/group databases became corrupt. I had to delete the contents of /var/cache/samba to get it to work again. Anyway, it is back up and running, but now winbindd seems to be crashing about once a day. Attached is an excerpt from log.winbindd. The system is running Red Hat Linux 9.0, and is connected to a Windows 2000 SP4 Active directory domain. When re-joining the domain with "net join" I found that it would not join via AD (failed after a long timeout) and instead had to use RPC. I didn't notice this with 3.0.0.
