Hi all,

I have a very very strange problem with 6 rhel5/4 systems, almost for me. In my infraestructure exists 3 Windows 2003 R2 SP2 servers acting as a AD domains to authenticate windows workstations and several linux systems.

 One of these three windows 2003 server is located on a remote office:

 - Headquarters: ad1 and ad2
 - Remote Office: ad3

My 6 rhel based servers are located on headquarters office. All these 6 servers are configured to authenticate to AD servers, but only to ad1 and ad2 not to ad3. Ok, my problem: yesterday I have shutdown ad3 to do some maintenance tasks. At the same time that I shutdown this AD server, I can't login as normal user to any of my rhel based servers (as a root I can login). In /var/log/secure logs appears errors about ldap server can't be reached, but what server?? ad1 and ad2 are online... I don't understand why, because any ldap and krb5 configuration file points to ad3.

When I started ad3 server, all works ok. Doing a tcpdump, I see that ALL my rhel servers do a first ldap query to ad1 or ad2 and subsequent ldap querys points to ad3 server instead to ad1 and ad2 servers. I repeat: on my /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/openldap/ldap.conf I haven't any param that points to ad3 ... I don't use samba, only ldap and kerberos config.

 Somebody knows why this happens?? I don't understand....
