[Samba] samba slave with winbind fails to communicate with the PDC

Hi all,

After the net rpc join successfuly established to the Samba PDC (net
rpc testjoin ok), the following commands fail:

# wbinfo -u
Error looking up domain users
# wbinfo -g
Error looking up domain groups
#wbinfo -t
checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed
Could not check secret
# net rpc testjoin
Join to 'RSP' is OK

It appears that, still under valid relationship with the PDC Samba
server, the winbind does not get the list from the PDC.

I have zeroed this server /var/lib/samba and started samba and winbind
again, rejoined the domain successfuly,
but i can't get wbinfo work.

My /etc/nsswitch.conf:

passwd:         compat winbind
group:          compat winbind
shadow:         compat

#hosts:          files dns wins
hosts:          files dns
networks:       files

protocols:      db files
services:       db files
ethers:         db files
rpc:            db files

netgroup:       nis

and my /etc/samba/smb.conf:

[global]
   workgroup = RSP
   server string = Ultra server
   wins server = 172.17.1.9
   dns proxy = yes
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   max log size = 1000
   syslog = 0
   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
   encrypt passwords = true
   passdb backend = tdbsam
   load printers = no
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY
   security = domain
   password server = MYPDCSERVER
   idmap uid = 10000-30000
   idmap gid = 10000-30000

The samba version in the PDC Server is exactly the samba that of this server.

Please, what should i do?
