Hello, we are having this issue on two of our RHEL 5.2 servers. We have them set up to authenticate to our Windows 2003 domain. Everything works well for a while, but for some reason every few days the winbind service will stop working, this is what we see in the log file: [2009/02/25 04:02:01, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(41) ==============================================================[2009/02/25 04:02:01, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(42) INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 7078 (3.0.33-3.7.el5) Please read the Trouble-Shooting section of the Samba3-HOWTO [2009/02/25 04:02:01, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(44) From: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf [2009/02/25 04:02:01, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(45) ==============================================================[2009/02/25 04:02:01, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(1655) PANIC (pid 7078): internal error [2009/02/25 04:02:01, 0] lib/util.c:log_stack_trace(1759) BACKTRACE: 16 stack frames: #0 winbindd(log_stack_trace+0x2d) [0x34ce4d] #1 winbindd(smb_panic+0x5d) [0x34cf7d] #2 winbindd [0x337afa] #3 [0xb21420] #4 /lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x67) [0xa0b007] #5 winbindd [0x342054] #6 winbindd(lp_do_parameter+0x511) [0x32b941] #7 winbindd [0x32cea5] #8 winbindd [0x32e468] #9 winbindd(pm_process+0x175) [0x32e8e5] #10 winbindd(lp_load+0x158) [0x32bd18] #11 winbindd [0x2b2c06] #12 winbindd(winbind_check_sighup+0xb0) [0x2b39a0] #13 winbindd(main+0xafd) [0x2b46fd] #14 /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc) [0x9b4dec] #15 winbindd [0x2b2641] [2009/02/25 04:02:01, 0] lib/fault.c:dump_core(181) dumping core in /var/log/samba/cores/winbindd [2009/02/25 07:33:23, 1] nsswitch/winbindd.c:main(1013) winbindd version 3.0.33-3.7.el5 started.
