This will bring up a little program that you can use to enable and
disable services.

There must a way to disable winbind, inside /etc/init.d/* or /etc/rc*.

Not sure what is winbind for, probably for binding window related
server.

Hi Dale, Alan, and Steve,

I have removed winbind from /etc/rc*.d.  Since this Samba
server is the only Controller anything on this network,
good riddance to winbind.  Thank you all for your
input.

[Samba] Winbind is kill me!

2010-04-11 Thread Todd And Margo Chester

Hi All,

I am using CentOS 5.4 (Old-Out-Of-Date) and

$ rpm -qa samba\*
samba-client-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1
samba-common-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1
samba-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1

On Thursday, at a customer's site, I did my
CentOS updates and got the above sort-of-new
version of Samba.

Problem: when CentOS booted back up, suddenly
the only thing anyone could get into was their
homes share.

If you browsed over to the server, you could
see all the shares, but if you selected any one
of the shares, except your homes share, you
got told that the share did not exist.

This affected all my Windows client and both
my Linux clients (cifs).

To workaround the problem, I stopped winbind
(/etc/rc.d/init.d/winbind stop), and everyone
was able to access network shares again.
As soon as winbind started back up, you were
back to only being able to browse your homes
share.

If power goes out and the server reboots, winbind
will restart and I will be dead meat.

Do I even need winbind?  Anyone know how to
permanently fix this?  I have access to the prior
build of Samba.  Would it be best to just revert
to it?

Many thanks,
-T
