But if winbind is configured with 'winbind offline logon = No' then, from what I understand, winbindd will never get that request, except for maybe on restart, no?

Related question - it seems that when I have 'winbind max domain connections' set to a value above '1' Winbind attempts to open a new connection for incoming authentication requests, judging from the fact that it keeps trying to do DC location (but fails, because both candidate DCs are stuck in NEG_CONN_CACHE for some reason, even if they're answering request from, e.g., adcli). There is already an RPC pipe (ESTAB connection to port 49159 on DC), but Winbind seems to insist on opening a new connection and doesn't reuse existing. Am I misinterpreting something? I thought Winbind is supposed to open a new connection only when existing one is busy with some request?
