You know, the strangest thing happened here.....
One thing I neglected to mention and I bet it was vital information,
is that w have 2 samba machines on the network.
we have one as a spare in case the main server dies.
It is sync'd with the main server every 5 minutes with rsync.
I had to turn that backup machine off to do some hardware maintenance,
ad it stayed off over the weekend.
This issue disappeared while that machine was turned off.
As soon as I turned this machine on again, the issues started all over
again.
It was the same 'cannot contact the domain controller' hiccup.
I shut down the samba daemons and the problem went away.
It would seem to me that something, someplace is misconfigured.
This is what is on the main:
domain logons = Yes
os level = 65
lm announce = Yes
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
wins support = Yes
And, this is what is on the backup:
domain logons = Yes
os level = 35
lm announce = Yes
preferred master = Yes
man smb.conf:
Use this option with caution, because if there are several hosts (wheth
er Samba servers, Windows 95 or NT) that are preferred master browsers
on the same su
bnet, they will each periodically and continuously attempt to become
the local master
browser. This will result in unnecessary broadcast traffic and reduced
browsing capa
bilities.
local master = No
domain master = Yes
Note that Windows NT Primary Domain Controllers expect to be
able to claim this workgroup specific special NetBIOS
name that
identifies them as domain master browsers for that
workgroup by
default (i.e. there is no way to prevent a Windows NT
PDC from
attempting to do this). This means that if this parameter
is set
and nmbd claims the special name for a workgroup before
a Win-
dows NT PDC is able to do so then cross subnet
browsing will
behave strangely and may fail.
So have you tried this?:
domain logons = Yes
os level = 35
lm announce = Yes
preferred master = No
local master = No
domain master = No
wins server = 192.168.0.201
