samba - Apr 2002 - Samba not accepting authentication information

Hello,

during the past few months we have seen samba suddently refusing to
accept authentication information. A restart of samba is required in
order to fix it.

The symptomes are that user's can log in to their Win2K clients using
the domain account, but they get a message during log in saying they do
not have access to their own profile.

Trying to browse the server is not possible; it won't accept
usernames/passwords at all.

There is nothing in the logs that we can attribute to this problem. So
far it's a mystery. It seems that people who are already logged in are
still able to access their file normally; it just won't accept new
authentications.

Has anyone had this problem? Any ideas?

Thanks!

What version of Samba. Can you use smbcontrol to raise the debug
level when the problem occurs to debug it ?
