Cc Bcc: Subject: DC's still are unavailable when PDC halted Reply-To: Hi folks, I've completely re-installed my DC's and Linux member. I've followed the docs step-by-step on Samba's wiki page, everything is works as well. Here is what I see on my member # cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 192.168.255.98 open-client.wificloud.local open-client # cat /etc/resolv.conf options timeout:1 options attempts:2 options rotate search wificloud.local nameserver 192.168.255.99 nameserver 192.168.255.100 first check: # time wbinfo --ping-dc checking the NETLOGON for domain[WIFICLOUD] dc connection to "open-ldap.wificloud.local" succeeded real 0m0.017s user 0m0.012s sys 0m0.000s right, seems like it works, shutted down the DC above (open-ldap), and check again: # time wbinfo --ping-dc checking the NETLOGON for domain[WIFICLOUD] dc connection to "open-ldap.wificloud.local" failed wbcPingDc2(WIFICLOUD): error code was NT_STATUS_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED (0xc00000ca) real 1m4.560s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.004s # time wbinfo --ping-dc hecking the NETLOGON for domain[WIFICLOUD] dc connection to "open-ldap2.wificloud.local" succeeded real 0m40.595s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.008s okay, it works after sime sleeping... open-ldap bringed up, open-ldap2 shutted down, check again: # time wbinfo --ping-dc checking the NETLOGON for domain[WIFICLOUD] dc connection to "open-ldap2.wificloud.local" failed wbcPingDc2(WIFICLOUD): error code was NT_STATUS_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED (0xc00000ca) real 0m16.309s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.008s # time wbinfo --ping-dc checking the NETLOGON for domain[WIFICLOUD] dc connection to "open-ldap.wificloud.local" succeeded real 0m1.260s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.004s well done - it works, but after the DC stops, there are too much timeout. How can I decrease it? Thanks, a.
