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

Can you test this with a Windows server (get an evaluation copy if necessary) and see whether the problem exists there?

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....

I don't, but I have a Windows-only domain that seems as confused. I have two DCs, C0 and C1. C0 is the original, and acutely underpowered. Theoretically, as I understand it, I should be able to turn C0 off and still login, C0 has no shares and isn't supposed to be the master. It's not so, if C0 is down then users cannot login.
