Odd error message in winbind

[Nir Soffer]

Hello!

On a Linux machine, running Samba 2.2.4, we got this error message:

Aug  7 01:47:01 node1-mgmt winbindd[7034]: [2002/08/07 01:47:01, 0]
rpc_client/cli_pipe.c:rpc_api_pipe(359) 
Aug  7 01:47:01 node1-mgmt winbindd[7034]:   cli_pipe: return critical
error. Error was SUCCESS - 0 

Previous to that error message, winbindd ran without fault for nearly 30
days.

After that error message, we got a few of these sequences:

Aug  8 10:19:25 node1-mgmt winbindd[7034]: [2002/08/08 10:19:25, 0]
libsmb/cli_netlogon.c:new_cli_nt_setup_creds(209) 
Aug  8 10:19:25 node1-mgmt winbindd[7034]:   new_cli_nt_setup_creds:
auth2 challenge failed NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED 
Aug  8 10:19:25 node1-mgmt winbindd[7034]: [2002/08/08 10:19:25, 0]
nsswitch/winbindd_cm.c:cm_get_netlogon_cli(796) 
Aug  8 10:19:25 node1-mgmt winbindd[7034]:   error connecting to domain
password server: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED 

I'm assuming something in winbindd's state got iffy, and then
authentication failed. I don't have access to the PDC to see if maybe
the error was caused by an event there, but I was wondering if anyone
knows what's going on there.

Thanks,
Nir.
