HEADS UP if you are thinking of upgrading net/samba3 to 3.0.30 in an Active Directory environment.
I have recently upgraded from 3.0.28a to 3.0.30 on a couple of FreeBSD 7.0 servers: one is a member server in a Windows 2000 Active Directory environment, and the other is a member server in a Windows 2003 Active Directory environment. Everything works for a while and then winbindd goes into sulking mode. Re-starting fixes everythng for a little while. Symptoms are that users are denied access to shares, log.smbd shows authentication failures, and wbinfo -p gets no response from winbindd. I'm guessing I've hit the winbindd bug described here: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2008-June/141041.html I've posted on the samba mailing list to check if the patch mentioned in that post is still the correct one to apply. -- John Marshall
