samba - Sep 2002 - odd: everything SHOULD work... winbind

Hi all,

i had everything samba working PERFECT a few days ago, meantime something
has changed or something i've changed, i know not what, is causing me to
not be able to authenticate domain users... it just plain doesn't work.  i
haven't changed anything in /etc/pam.d/, but i checked on it and
everything there is still ok.... wbinfo -u lists all the users just swell.
 One wierd thing i noticed (beside the problem), if i do "ps -aux | grep
winbind" winbind doesn't show, but if i just "ps -aux" it IS
in THAT
list... 

i was messing around with red hats print manager utility (which somehow is
supposed to use samba's smbclient, didn't work btw)... i don't know
if
that broke something?  any ideas?

thanks

I've seen a similar problem to that when running winbind... Try
restarting winbind? I'm starting to have a feeling that if the machine
password is reset by nmbd, winbindd never finds out.

Anyone have any comments to that regard? I'm trying to reproduce the
problem in a controlled environment right now, but have yet to see it
again.
