Hello World, I just discovered a problem with my samba/winbind setup. Everything was working fine up until the office lost connectivity to the Internet. The LAN was still operational but all connectivity to the Internet was down. The problem that occurred was winbind failed to authenticate any users off the Win2K domain until the Internet came back up. Now I could understand this behavior if my samba server lost its connection to the password server but it could ping the password server (DNS and IP) fine throughout the failure. Now I have the feeling this is a simple missing configuration problem but does anyone know what it would be ? Thanks in Advance Lee Sanders Network Engineer
