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

Hi Paul,
Just want to make sure I understand: 
when this fails, it fails right from startup?  And WHAT do you do to get it
to finally work again?
Don

1) We have joined the domain. 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?

Paul

It uses the trust account info from the secrets database. You have to join 
the domain.

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
