winbindd problem

[Orwig, Paul]

Hmmm...
My NT admins assure me that they have had the annonymous restriction on for
months.
I wonder if when they are modifying the database, the restriction is
nullified...
OR, they could be removing the restriction momentarily for something else...

I will get a user/password from the NT admins and try from there. This is
separate from the domain-join secret?

Well, yes, but, as Tim pointed out in response to my erroneous statement, 
the fact that wbinfo -t says that the secret is good means that the trust 
account secrets stored in tdb are OK.

winbindd uses anonymous connections to retrieve its information by 
default, unless you have told it a valid account and password on the 
DC[s].

In the presence of restrict-anonymous, this will not work, and if some of 
your DCs have restrict-anonymous set and some not, you may get 
intermittent failures.
