[Samba] winbind users get lost sometimes (repost)

[Peter Huetmannsberger]

Hi!

I am sorry I have not seen an answer to this. I was having the same 
problem after upgarding beyong 3.0.4 On my Fedora Box with samba-3.0.2 it 
works fine. I was told in an earlier mail, that it should be fixed in 
3.0.7, however it was not. I had the same thing happening again, just as 
you described. 

Does anyone out there know whats going on?

Thanks in advance, 

.peter
