Dear List-

This error is appearing in my log.winbindd log file. The full error is 
as follows:

nsswitch/winbindd_user.c:winbindd_getpwnam(161)
user 'RAID' does not exist

nsswitch/winbindd_user.c:winbindd_getpwnam(161)
user 'BAMBOO_LEAVES_SINGLE.TIF' does not exist


To clarify, there is no user by those names (i.e. raid, 
BAMBOO_LEAVES_SINGLE.TIF)
on our DC, but there are share names/filenames; the full name/s of the 
shares in
question being Raid1 and Raid2, with the UNC path looking something like 
this:

//myserver/raid1
//myserver/raid2

This error or some variation of it is appearing in the log file every 1 
- 4 seconds,
corresponding presumably with some sort of read/write I/O operation. The 
box is
currently serving as a NAS in our production environment, and this box 
does undergoes
very heavy IO.

Previously, kerberos had failed due to a time drift on the NAS. That 
problem has
since been corrected and Kerberos reports back as functioning correctly.

Samba version: samba-3.0.14
Linux Kernel: kernel-2.4.27-2.0.00
OS: REdhat 9.0

Has anyone on this list ever experience an occurrence like this?

Thanks in advance.
