samba - Aug 2003 - Winbind fails w/ 3beta3

I'm having an unusual problem with my new samba servers.  Notice,
servers is plural, meaning all of my new servers are experiencing
exactly the same problem at different times throughout the day, which
leads me to believe that the "problem" is not with samba but with my
Win2k server.  However, I still need help in determining what is causing
the problem...

At various times during the day, winbind stops responding to requests to
authenticate.  ANY attempts to map to the drive fail.  However, any
existing connections to services continue to work just fine.  A restart
of winbind fixes the problem immediately.  A quick scan of the client
log file shows...

[2003/08/06 07:49:13, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(994)

Here's my smb.conf file...

# Global parameters

        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        printing = cups
        browseable = Yes

[print$]
        comment = Printer Driver Download Area
        path = /etc/samba/drivers
        browseable = No
        guest ok = yes
        read only = No

[Images]
        comment = TSA Images
        path = /shares/images
        read only = No
        create mask = 0777
        directory mask = 0777

[GIS]
        comment = GIS Data
        path = /shares/gis
        read only = No
        create mask = 0777
        directory mask = 0777

Any help in getting to the bottom of this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Can you give me some more information about your domain infrastructure?
Maybe a level 10 debug log?
