Just a FYI, but this looks an awful lot like the bug I reported months ago https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6103
Basically I'm running Fedora11 with no local accounts (beyond root) - relying on winbind. On occasion winbind appears to "hang" - and no local access works - including root - which shouldn't need winbind to succeed! Normally I have to reboot to fix, however if I was lucky enough for it to happen before my screensaver kicked in, then simply restarting winbind fixes the problem. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
