[Samba] winbind ubuntu 9.10 crashing machine

[Jim Kusznir]

Some more info:

On my (working) Ubuntu 9.04 system, its often consistently at around
50% load, with winbind and syslogd using up that CPU.  In
/var/log/syslog, I get fairly continuous logging of:

May 11 09:06:39 casas-thin-serv winbindd[11370]:   rpc_api_pipe: host
ad1.casas.wsu.edu, pipe \NETLOGON, fnum 0x400f returned critical
error. Error was NT_STATUS_PIPE_DISCONNECTED
May 11 09:06:39 casas-thin-serv winbindd[11370]: [2010/05/11 09:06:39,
 0] rpc_client/cli_pipe.c:rpc_api_pipe(914)

Authentication and other details work, but this is eating up a lot of
CPU and disk space (logs) for nothing....and I'm suspicious that this
might be connected to the issue.

My AD controller (ad1.casas.wsu.edu) is a Win Serv 2008r2 box with the
schema set to 2003 (IIRC...I know I did not set it to 2008, as I tried
that first, and had lots of breakage).  This system is around to serve
mostly winbind clients, but 1-3 windows boxes...
