[Samba] password server is not connected

[David Bear]

I have installed samba 2.2.7a on FreeBSD from the ports collection.  I
have used an existing samba config file which worked with samba 2.0.x.

I am using security = server

Yesterday, a user attempting to use a print share started getting
rejected with the message:

[2003/01/22 13:52:21, 1] smbd/password.c:server_validate(1101)
  password server  is not connected
[2003/01/22 13:52:21, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(545)
    Couldn't find user 'joeuser' in passdb.
[2003/01/22 13:52:21, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(545)
    Couldn't find user 'joeuser' in passdb.
[2003/01/22 13:52:21, 1]
   smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(1001) 
   Rejecting user 'joeuser': authentication failed
[2003/01/22 13:52:21, 1] smbd/password.c:server_validate(1101)
    password server  is not connected
	  
The very strange thing is yesterday, I stopped and restarted samba
thinking it may have some wierd/old instance running.  That fixed it.
However, today, the problem is back.  Any attempt to print to the
share fails.

The password server is UP and running because other samba server
authenticate users to it... These are samba 2.0.x servers.  The
password server is a win2k box.
