Winbind losing connectivity with Active Directory
 

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to get AD authentication to work with my CentOS 5 and CentOS 6 servers. It will join the domain fine. I can run test joins, display all the AD users, AD groups, etc just fine. Then like 2-3 hours later it will just stop working. The log.winbindd and log-wb-DOMAINNAME logs show nothing. I am completely stumped and not sure where to even begin. I have tried different domain controllers, and it all does the same thing. I've been beating my head on the table on this for the last 4 days.

Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. Let me know what you need me to post, and I will do it. Thanks!

Can you please send us output of testparm -v command

Thanks

Ran the command on my CentOS 5 server. This is what I got:

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (8192) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
WARNING: The "idmap uid" option is deprecated
WARNING: The "idmap gid" option is deprecated

WARNING: The setting 'security=ads' should NOT be combined with the 'password server' parameter.
(by default Samba will discover the correct DC to contact automatically).

Ran the command on my CentOS 6 server and this is what I got:

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Loaded services file OK.

I have posted the outputs of the command as text files, since the out put of each was 300+ lines.

Thanks!

By observing attached testparm file, I can say when cache expires , It stops working

Thanks
