Yes, I know... I have a similar setup (same version of samba, same
hardware, same OS but a different windows domain on a different
network) that is working fine.

Yes and yes.  If I didn't have that, I'm not sure how samba could have
joined the domain given my configuration.  (But I don't understand
what is going on under the hood.)

Config files posted below.  But first an exciting hint:

When I try to ssh into the box while samba utilities (like "net ads"
and "wbinfo") are frozen -- the ssh login is also frozen until
everything is released.  Maybe nsswitch I fouled.


/etc/resolv.conf:
root at nickel:~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.11.5
nameserver 192.168.1.4
domain mydomain.local


/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.mydomain.local
192.168.11.3            nickel.mydomain.local nickel
192.168.1.2             iron.mydomain.local iron

/etc/nsswitch.conf:
# default
#group: compat
#group_compat: nis
#passwd: compat
#passwd_compat: nis

# 20170131 samba setup
group: files winbind
passwd: files winbind

hosts: files dns

Thanks again,

Chris
