I tried with sssd also, but with the same result: if connection to the 
main (remote) AD server is down, samba does not authenticate users. To 
recap my setup:

DOMAIN CONTROLLER (Win2003) <-> VPN TUNNEL <-> REMOTE SAMBA SERVER <-> 
REMOTE CLIENTS

If the VPN tunnel goes down, the remote samba server stop authenticating 
users. It does not seem a winbind or sssd problem, after all: severing 
the VPN connection, user authentication *outside samba shares* work 
correctly (I confirmed it by logging in via SSH using domain 
credential).

However, *no* user authentication is possible on samba shares when the 
VPN tunnel is down?

Do you have any suggestions?
Regards.
