[Samba] RedHat Linux AS4 64bit samba to ADS share issue ... winbind start/stop makes it work....

Wed Oct 14 16:03:13 MDT 2009

Have a bit of a situation and hope someone can help shed some light.  Have
the attached samba config on a RedHat Linux AS4 x86_64bit system and have
joined the box to our Windows 2003 ADS environment using:

Net ads join -Uadmin.

We can map a user to their home directory without issue.  The [dataload]
or other shares we receive a window on our windows boxes that request
identification on the other shares, unless we have started and then
stopped winbind service.  If the winbind service is running, we get the id
window again.  I sure hope someone can tell us where our config has gone
wrong.  I suspect that winbind has setup some structure or cached some
info that makes our config work. 

Thanks.

/etc/nsswitch.conf

# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system configuration

# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups

# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!

NOT

# on the local network segment
