Yes, it fails at the startup. I've been trying various ideas, stopping and restarting winbindd, and occasionally it works, only to break on the next try. The last time it worked, I had started it without a debug setting. 8-b

And WHAT do you do to get it to finally work again?

Samba is running fine without winbind. 2) We have only this one copy of winbindd 3) We are using PAM_SMB without a problem. 4) ROOT# wbinfo -t Secret is good More ideas?

It uses the trust account info from the secrets database. You have to join the domain. > Problem: > winbindd seems to work intermittantly. > wbinfo -u returns "Error looking up domain users" I have seen a number of reasons for this: 1. You have not joined the domain 2. There are old copies of winbindd or smbd/nmbd from a different domain 3. There is no connectivity to the DC Regards ----- Richard Sharpe, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
