Ok... This is annoying. Winbind doesn't seem to be 100% stable. I am using 3.0.4 and Winbind is attached to a Windows 2003 server. I am cheating, using RPC rather than ADS.
So here is the issue. Generally everything works. I do a wbinfo -u and all comes back. I do a getent passwd and a good list comes back as well.
The problem is sometimes with individual users, I do a "getent passwd jskains" and it will come back blank. But then I do it again and it comes back with a good entry. Why???????????? This is so fustrating because other services are effected by this. For example, If I change permissions on a file with "chown jskains file" sometimes it will say "invalid user" and then sometimes it will work fine.
Also the same with SSHD. Sometimes I try to log in via SSH and it will tell me I have an invalid password. Other times it jumps in with no problem whatsoever.
Help!
