[Samba] Active Directory share strange issue

[Andy Durant]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the response.

Server has a single IP.

I've tried it with various version after it stopped working, the results 
been the same with them all.  I can access the directories directly by 
path but not hitting the root first.

Browsing by IP gives the same result.  I can directly access the shares 
by path but not by root. \\server throws the same error.

I can not browse to \\domain either.  I can ping it and get the proper 
result though.  I have verified all dns is working correctly.

log level is currently at 5 but theres nothing in there that hasnt been 
in there from day 1. The only errors are:

     (Executable '/usr/local/samba/sbin/samba_kcc' doesn't belong to any 
package and ProcessUnpackaged is set to 'no')
      abrtd: 'post-create' on 
'/var/spool/abrt/pyhook-2014-03-11-19:47:22-4324' exited with 1
     abrtd: Deleting problem directory 
'/var/spool/abrt/pyhook-2014-03-11-19:47:22-4324'

These have been there since day 1 and its been working for almost 2 
months.  This problem just started within the last few days.
