[Samba] AD DC eventually not browsable without restart

I have a SerNet Samba 4.0.8 AD DC running on CentOS 6.4 (newdc)
replicating from a W2K3 DC (olddc). When I first launch Samba using
`sudo samba`, I can go to the Windows server and browse to \\newdc in
Explorer, and I see mytestshare, netlogon, printers, sysvol, and
"Printers and Faxes".
After a while (I'm not sure how long precisely, but under 24 hours) I
could not navigate to \\newdc without the following error:
---------------------------
\\newdc
---------------------------
\\newdc is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out
if you have access permissions.
The Server service is not started.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
But in the interim, I had not been doing anything in the system, so I'm
not sure what might have caused it. One time it even happened on a
weekend when no backup or anything particularly special is scheduled
while I was away.
Anyway, running `sudo killall samba` and then `sudo samba` makes it
suddenly browsable again.
This is happening every day. I guess it would be best to figure this
problem out before we make Samba the only DC.
Here's my smb.conf, mostly set up by samba-tool, and now a work in
progress to add the extras we will use:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = MYDOMAIN
realm = mydomain.lan
netbios name = NEWDC
server role = active directory domain controller
server services = rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl,
winbind, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate, smb, dns
allow dns updates = true
dns forwarder = 192.168.1.1
# dns recursive queries = yes
dcerpc endpoint servers = epmapper, wkssvc, rpcecho, samr,
netlogon, lsarpc, spoolss, drsuapi, dssetup, unixinfo, browser,
eventlog6, backupkey, dnsserver, winreg, srvsvc
# dcerpc endpoint servers = winreg srvsvc
load printers = yes
printing = cups
[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/mydomain.lan/scripts
read only = No
[sysvol]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol
read only = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = Yes
read only = No
printable = Yes
[print$]
comment = Point and Print Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printing
read only = No
[mytestshare]
path = /srv/mytestshare/
read only = No
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kev
