After adding the box to the domain I restart the box, since then the Winbind service stops working and I 'm not able to start it.

when I do Service Winbind Start it tells me FAILED .

What would cause the Winbind service to stop working?

Not a networking question. Moved to Linux - Newbie

Hi

Can you post cat /var/log/samba/winbindd.log

Hi

Can you post cat /var/log/samba/winbindd.log

It doesn't look that bad.

Error when I try to start winbind by Root

root:~ # service winbind start
Starting Samba WINBIND daemon failed

start it in the foreground withiout the init.d script. If you don't know how to check the script itself, /etc/init.d/winbind and see the command, probably in line with a config file in /etc/sysconfig/ to set command line options. run it directly wand see if it spits out anythign interesting.

#/etc/init.d/winbind reload

:~ # /etc/init.d/winbind force-reload

By the way, I cannot find Winbind anywhere in ls -l /etc/sysconfig/

As per my previous post, run the daemon process directly.
