[Samba] SMBD and Winbind Errors

[Errol Neal]

Hi All,

This is my third time posting this question to the list. No-one seems to be 
responding to it, and I do not think that is because
people do not know how to help me. So, let me ask this: Is there something 
wrong with the way I am posing this question that
is causing people not to want to help me? Is my "attitude" coming across 
wrong? I don't know, but I've been using Samba3.0
for a while and I have never been able to get any help from this list. So, 
maybe I am doing something wrong, and If I am, I would
glady come into compliance to be able to receive the assistance I need from 
you fine folks.

Here is my original question for anyone that cares to help:

I am running Samba3.0 beta 3 installed from RPM's provided on the Samba.org 
FTP server. My platform is Red Hat 9.

I am seeing a lot of errors such as:

Aug  6 17:50:18 server3 winbindd[31138]: [2003/08/06 17:50:18, 0] 
nsswitch/winbindd_sid.c:winbindd_lookupname(103)
Aug  6 17:50:18 server3 winbindd[31138]:   could not find domain entry for 
domain

AND

smbd[27004]: [2003/08/06 17:31:06, 0] 
auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(994)
smbd[27004]:   make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!


A few questions about them:

1. Are they critical errors?

2. What do these errors mean?

2. Can they be resolved?


In case you need it, here is a copy of my smb.conf


# Global parameters

         workgroup = FOO
         realm = FOO.PRIVATE
         password server = XX.XX.XX.XX

         winbind separator = +
         template homedir = /home/%U
         template shell = /bin/bash
         acl compatibility = Win2k
         winbind use default domain = yes

         path = /home/htdocs
         follow symlinks = no
         browsable = yes
         force create mode = 0664
         force directory mode = 0775
         writeable = yes
         write list = @FOO+Administrators FOO+esobczak
         nt acl support = yes

Thanks in advance,
