Hi, I've set up a samba server as a primary domain member with AD auth. Everything works pretty smoothly except that when you reboot the server samba will not work. AFTER REBOOT: kfrank at tldapprovider003:~$ smbclient \\\\tldapprovider003\\base Enter kfrank's password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED did you forget to run kinit? I don't have kerberos installed or even need kerberos in my set up. Another weird thing to report is that when I attempt to use sudo commands they hang for 3-5 minutes: kfrank at tldapprovider003:~$ time sudo su - root at tldapprovider003:~# exit logout real 5m25.089s user 0m0.216s sys 0m0.272s Through a little debugging I found that if you restart nmbd sudo commands are fast as they were before and samba runs as it should again. That's a quick fix but I'd like samba to run flawlessly on reboot without having to restart nmbd. A little more poking about reveals that if I comment out the "wins server" line in smb.conf and reboot sudo doesn't hang and nmbd is running. However I samba can't find the AD servers to auth against. W/ WINS SERVER COMMENTED AFTER REBOOT: kfrank at tldapprovider003:~$ time sudo su - root at tldapprovider003:~# exit logout real 0m3.217s user 0m0.248s sys 0m0.200s kfrank at tldapprovider003:~$ service nmbd status nmbd start/running, process 752 kfrank at tldapprovider003:~$ smbclient \\\\tldapprovider003\\base Enter kfrank's password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS kfrank at tldapprovider003:~$ I read on some forum post (sorry lost the link) that to solve this you need to put a mkdir line in your /etc/init/nmbd.conf (see attached files). This works for a few reboots but after the 4th or 5th time the same problem with nmbd occurs again. Is this a bug with nmbd or am I just missing something? Thx in advance
