And confirmed by me, also on sarge, with a non AD domain (flat NT4 domain) I think you gave me the right direction to spot this annoying bug which forced me to hack a small script on a bug production server to enforce restarting winbind when "wbinfo -t" fails. Anyway, this is really worth investigating this because it can hit production servers very hard.... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
