Hi I have several Samba servers which have been running for almost two years without any problem. Recently I rebooted one of those servers and have the following problem: the join to the domain is OK but all user authentications fail. I mean nobody can "connect" a share. The system I rebooted is half of a two node cluster, the other node with exactly the same configuration, up 230 days, (still?) works OK. As if something cached would get lost during reboot and couldn't be reestablished. These systems are: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4) samba3-winbind-3.0.24-33 samba3-3.0.24-33 I know, this version is a bit dated but haven't had any reason to upgrade. Below is a part of the logfile. It's far below my know-how to interpret it correctly. Something must have changed on the domain controllers (what is very difficult to find out in this environment), I guess, and Samba cannot cope with. I would be very thankfull for any help. Thanks for your time.
