Hi, Thanks for reporting this bug, and the useful work around information. It looks like either winbindd is starting to early, or actually needs to be restarted to be told about on network changes (which would seem like an upstream issue).
The fact that rc.local and network ifup were needed is strange though. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006867 Title: winbind doesn't authenticate without a restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1006867/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
