I've had that happen in the past with non-RedHat linux boxes.
Fortunately we have Saltstack on all the boxes and can just salt '*'
cmd.run 'killall -SIGKILL winbindd; service winbind restart'
But it hangs SSH sessions and things like 'ls -lha' that need to resolve
usernames and groups.
i.e. if you removed winbind from /etc/nsswitch.conf it would stop happening.
The issue stopped happening to us in more recent versions. We're
using 4.17.12 from the Debian repos.
The last time I used RedHat, I noticed they loved having software that was
wildly out-of-date in the name of stability and compatibility. YMMV. ;)
