[Samba] could not obtain winbind separator

[Isakson, John AVLNA]

I am getting the message "could not obtain winbind separator" when I try

wbinfo -a user%password

and

ntlm_auth  --request-nt-key -username=<username>

 

both commands fail.

 

I have no idea what the error means.  I have samba running on another
machine with the same smb.conf file without problems.

 

I am running Red Hat 5 and samba 3.0.33 on both machines.
