[Samba] NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS if Domain Controller is absent
I have my Samba 3.0.21c Linux Server as Domain member (security=ADS) so that domain users can use the Samba Server as shared file server. Everything works nice if the domain controller is present, e.g. wbinfo -a DOMAIN\\donald%donald plaintext password authentication succeeded challenge/response password authentication succeeded (this just simulates a Windows 2000 Client using the share which works equally well) Now I disconnect the domain controller and try the same: wbinfo -a DOMAIN\\donald%donald plaintext password authentication failed error code was NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS (0xc000005e) error messsage was: No logon servers Could not authenticate user DOMAIN\donald%donald with plaintext password challenge/response password authentication failed error code was NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS (0xc000005e) error messsage was: No logon servers Could not authenticate user DOMAIN\donald with challenge/response (this just simulates a Windows 2000 Client using the share which also does not work with nearly the same error message on the Windows 2000 Client) I have set-up winbind and kerberos in proper fashion (I hope), so what else is wrong here or is it a bug in winbind? I think that security=ADS is especially designed for my intended use (backup file share if the domain controller is down). Or do I misunderstand the Samba concept? Note: I'm using passdb backend = tdbsam.
