[Samba] winbindd crashing -- how to auto-heal?

I did have an extra look in that debug log. 

And i noticed: 
2018/08/30 14:24:36 : trust_pw_change(REDACTED): Verified new password remotely using netlogon_creds_cli:CLI[RWHUDXDKRDEV/RWHUDXDKRDEV$]/SRV[RWGOV-DC1/REDACTED]

347    Reducing LDAP page size from 1000 to 500 due to IO_TIMEOUT 
348  [2018/09/01 10:14:49.055826,  1, pid=12602] ../source3/libads/ldap_utils.c:109(ads_do_search_retry_internal) 
349    ads_search_retry: failed to reconnect (No logon servers are currently available to service the logon request.) 
350  [2018/09/01 13:40:24.015312,  1, pid=12602] ../source3/winbindd/winbindd_cm.c:3128(cm_connect_lsa) 

Somewhere between 2018/08/30 14:24:36 and 2018/09/01 10:14:49. 
Then its reconnecting. 

 [2018/09/01 13:40:24.
   Unwilling to make LSA connection to domain REDACTED without connection level security, must set 'winbind sealed pipes = false' and 'require strong key = false' to proceed: NT_STATUS_DOWNGRADE_DETECTED

2018/09/01 14:13:54.
winbindd_cm.c:2085(connection_ok) 
355    connection_ok: Connection to (null) for domain REDACTED is not connected 

get_dc_list: preferred server list: ", *"
Why are we seeing ", *"  and not "hostname, *"

Now  [2018/09/01 14:14:03 
It shows the correct preffered list. 
   get_dc_list: preferred server list: "RWGOV-DC1.REDACTED.wan, *" 

And as of this point its ok again untill  [2018/09/01 14:31:45 

ads: fetch sequence_number for REDACTED

msrpc_sid_to_name: S-0-0 for domain REDACTED

msrpc_sid_to_name: failed to lookup sids: NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER

msrpc_sid_to_name: S-1-5-21-314559009-3729260175-93040071-513 for domain REDACTED

And repeat the above. 


When i look at above, i would say, i need these to say more, but my first guess, 
errors in resolving or you did hit some winbind bugs, its a 50% 50% here. 

Check these first. 
1) Check Nsswitch.conf  ( post it to the list. ) 
2) check resolv.conf ( post it to the list. ) 
3) change smb.conf  ( already done, but post the result on the list again. )
In smb.conf, i would change autorid to rid. 

I do believe the case of this error is a configuration thing. 
Not a user error, but a combination of settings that is causing this bug.

This really depends. 
In all cases, you dont "need" nmbd. Its just handy to "see" you computers. 
But its not needed, dns proxy = yes is helpfull to resolve the hostnames over dns.
If you disable file and printer sharing in windows you also dont "see" the computers. 

Now taking in account also that there was an samba version with lots of winbind bug, 
i just cant remember the number (version) but i was in the low range of 4.6.x or 4.7.x .

But still i would try a setup with winbind only and these configs. 
By example, how i run my proxy with winbind for auth. 

search primaryZone.yourdomain.tld
nameserver ip_of_AD_DC_server
( or if you run caching dns, 127.0.0.1, then use a forward zone to the AD DC's ) 

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost
192.168.0.1 proxy1.primaryZone.yourdomain.tld  proxy1

Now the most important one in smb.conf. 

netbios name =  Its often not defined and that "should" be fine normaly, but i advice to set it manualy. 


Smb.conf
   workgroup = NTDOM
    security = ads
    realm = PRIMARYZONE.YOURKERBEROSDOMAIN.TLD
	
    netbios name = PROXY1 	# DEFINE IT MANUALY

# Note this : 
# The maximum length of the host name and of the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is 63 bytes per label 
# and 255 bytes per FQDN. Note Windows does not permit computer names that exceed 15 characters, 
# and you cannot specify a DNS host name that differs from the NETBIOS host name.

    preferred master = no
    domain master = no
    host msdfs = no
    interfaces = 192.168.0.1 127.0.0.1
    bind interfaces only = yes
    dns proxy = yes

    ## map id's outside to domain to tdb files.
    idmap config *:backend = tdb
    idmap config *:range = 2000-9999

    ## map ids from the domains, the range may not overlap !
    idmap config NTDOM : backend = rid
    idmap config NTDOM : range = 10000-3999999

    dedicated keytab file = /etc/krb5.keytab
    kerberos method = secrets and keytab

    # renew the kerberos ticket
    winbind refresh tickets = yes
    winbind use default domain = yes  # or no what you want/need here.

    # show users with getent passwd ( handy for debugging, then set yes. ) 
    winbind enum users  = no
    winbind enum groups = no

    # enable offline logins
    winbind offline logon = yes

    # user Administrator workaround, without it you are unable to set privileges
    username map = /etc/samba/samba_usermapping

    # disable usershares creating, when set empty no error log messages.
    usershare path =

    # Disable printing completely
    load printers = no
    printing = bsd
    printcap name = /dev/null
    disable spoolss = yes


I really suggest try these above settings and post the results. 

Greetz,
