Hi All, I am using CentOS 5.4 (Old-Out-Of-Date) and $ rpm -qa samba\* samba-client-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 samba-common-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 samba-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 On Thursday, at a customer's site, I did my CentOS updates and got the above sort-of-new version of Samba. Problem: when CentOS booted back up, suddenly the only thing anyone could get into was their "homes" share. If you browsed over to the server, you could see all the shares, but if you selected any one of the shares, except your "homes" share, you got told that the share did not exist. This affected all my Windows client and both my Linux clients (cifs). To workaround the problem, I stopped winbind (/etc/rc.d/init.d/winbind stop), and everyone was able to access network shares again. As soon as winbind started back up, you were back to only being able to browse your homes share. If power goes out and the server reboots, winbind will restart and I will be dead meat. Do I even need winbind? Anyone know how to permanently fix this? I have access to the prior build of Samba. Would it be best to just revert to it? Many thanks, -T
Hi There must a way to disable winbind, inside /etc/init.d/* or /etc/rc*. Not sure what is winbind for, probably for binding window related server.

Hi ToddandMargo, As root on the server type ntsysv http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/s1-se rvices-ntsysv.html This will bring up a little program that you can use to enable and disable services.

With 'winbindd -d10' I find in the end of the log.winbindd _14_ lines like this: [2010/04/12 09:51:15, 5] lib/charcnv.c:82(charset_name) Substituting charset 'UTF-8' for LOCALE If I give 'locale' I get _14_ lines too. So it seems, that Winbind goes through the locales and then hangs. It would be nice to know, what does it try here next. -What is the thing which should happend.

Since this Samba server is the only "Controller" anything on this network, good riddance to "winbind". Thank you all for your input. -T
