Hi there, let me decribe the problem first:
Every morning, and sometimes also in the afternoon if the server had some leisure during the morning, users fail to login via samba from windows clients. The message is something like "domain SKOLELINUX not available". Alas, this only happens, when no capable admin is present (neither me) and when the local admin is in a hurry - so what he does (and works) is reboot the server. He wouldn't find the time to try if at least linux clients can connect - in order to see if this is a samba/nmdb or a dhcp issue or even a auto negotiate issue. What we did as possible workaround was creating a cronjob that restarts all daemons in questions in the early morning (and kill nmdb zombie which remains after stopping samba). This is running - but yet the problem lasts on. I don't feel good with putting a "reboot" into crontab - but have to keep the local admin in a good mood if you know what I mean. Next trial would be something like mii-tool. Any hints? I like to close this letter with an excerpt from dmesg looking somewhat strange - maybe one of you finds a hint there: (Thanks, regards, Ralf) Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 5.2.52-k3 Copyright (c) 1999-2004 Intel Corporation.
