So I far I am able to live up with occasional winbind restarts, but eventually I wanted to move to ldap backend. When I implemenetd samba years back(3.0.x), ldap backend would not support id mapping for trusted domains. http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-4842 "TDB file corruption is a known problem with Samba, which is difficult or impossible to prevent from occuring. " "When winbind's TDB files become corrupted, it is often necessary to stop the winbind service, delete winbind-specific TDB files in /var/cache/samba, and start the winbind service back up to re-generate a new idmap." Let me know what you think. ~LA -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
