I'm having an unusual problem with my new samba servers. Notice, servers is plural, meaning all of my new servers are experiencing exactly the same problem at different times throughout the day, which leads me to believe that the "problem" is not with samba but with my Win2k server. However, I still need help in determining what is causing the problem...
At various times during the day, winbind stops responding to requests to authenticate. ANY attempts to map to the drive fail. However, any existing connections to services continue to work just fine. A restart of winbind fixes the problem immediately. A quick scan of the client log file shows...
