Hi, After upgrading to Samba 3.3.10 (Mandriva 2009.0), I'm unable to use wbinfo to do anything. Previous to the upgrade, it was working fine. I upgraded to support a new Windows 2008 R2 server (previously Windows 2000). # wbinfo -p Ping to winbindd failed could not ping winbindd! # ps -A|grep winbind 31955 ? 00:00:00 winbindd 31962 ? 00:00:00 winbindd The "net ads" commands all work fine (user, net, etc.) and I've re-run "net ads join" again, which succeeded. I've been searching for the answer to this for a couple of days, without luck. Hope someone can shed some light on what's gone wrong. Cheers, Mantrid

Thought I'd post a follow-up, being that I've seen several people with this problem and nobody has come up with a solution. My problem was that I upgraded the Samba package. There must have been another package that links the wbinfo utility and winbindd that was version mismatched. I updated all the other packages on my system (which I was avoiding - as once it went badly - bad not this time) and it all works great. I guess I'd relied on the package dependencies to tell me if I should have updated something else with the Samba package. Oh well. Interestingly, I also had the problem where users could create and delete files, but not rename/modify them (even with chmod 777 and no facls). Upgrading the remaining packages on my system fixed this problem too.
