We are having the same Samba issue as noted here: http://lists.freeradius.org/pipermail/freeradius-users/2009-November/msg00664.html Has anybody on this list experienced this " \NETLOGON fnum 0xareturned critical error. Error was NT_STATUS_PIPE_DISCONNECTED" error? This wasn't happening until our AD admin upgraded the AD servers to windows server 2008 R2. Also, I see this over and over in our winbindd.log: [2010/02/26 14:52:01, 1] nsswitch/winbindd_util.c:trustdom_recv(230) Could not receive trustdoms We are running Samba Version 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 Also here is the output of wbinfo -a: wbinfo -a testuser%testpass plaintext password authentication failed error code was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER (0xc0000064) error messsage was: No such user Could not authenticate user testuser%testpass with plaintext password challenge/response password authentication failed error code was NT_STATUS_PIPE_DISCONNECTED (0xc00000b0) error messsage was: Named pipe dicconnected Anyone know what the solution to fixing this might be? Our campus wireless uses FreeRADIUS-->Samba-->AD for authentication. Thanks in advance, Walter
