[Samba] winbind ubuntu 9.10 crashing machine

[Jim Kusznir]

Ack, this message got burried in my mail reader...Thanks for the reply.

My entire smb.conf is included in my origional message to the list;
I'll paste it again here:

smb.conf
------------
[global]
       security = ads
       netbios name = casas-lin
       realm = CASAS.WSU.EDU
       workgroup = CASAS
       password server = ad1.casas.wsu.edu
       workgroup = CASAS
       idmap uid = 10000-20000
       idmap gid = 10000-20000
       idmap backend = rid:CASAS.WSU.EDU=10000-20000
       winbind enum users = yes
       winbind enum groups = yes
       winbind use default domain = yes
       #template homedir = /home/%U
       template homedir = /net/files/home/%U
       template shell = /bin/bash
;        client use spnego = yes
       domain master = no
--------------

Thanks for the help!!

BTW: I tried the ubuntu team, they just ignored me.
