I've running Samba 3.0.2 on Suse Linux 8.2 in an W2K Active Directory Domain. Everything is running well but every morning I've to restart winbind before I'm able to authenticate me with a domain user. Has anybody an idea what the reason is for this problem?

can you locate a log file relative to the operation of the service and post it, even if there is nothing significant in there.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry for my delay, but I was out of office. Here the samba.log in the morning, when I try to map a share:

Did you figure it out, cause the same thing is happening to me.
