Hi- I've set up samba 3.02a and have it successfully authenticating against a Windows 2000 ADS Server. Everything is working great, except that samba (winbind?) won't talk to the backup ADS server when the primary ADS server goes down. I'm shutting off the primary ADS server to test this, and when I do I get the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc]# /usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -u Error looking up domain users "getent passwd" also doesn't work. When the primary ADS server is online, everything works. This seems to be a winbind problem ... when the primary is offline, all windows users can log into the domain from their PCs, and I can successfully get a kerberos ticket on my samba server machine from the secondary ADS server (/etc/krb5.conf uses DNS to lookup the kerberos server), but winbind doesn't seem to find it. I tried three different settings for "password server" in smb.conf: password server = PRIMARY_ADS_IP password server = PRIMARY_ADS_IP, SECONDARY_ADS_IP ... and the third was just not specifying a "password server". All three give the same result: I can authenticate when the primary is up, but not when it's offline. Looking at tcpdump (though I'm not an expert), it seems like winbind is continually trying to contact the primary ADS server even after is goes away .... Any ideas? Where does winbind get the information about what ADS server to talk to?
