Hello, I am running a Samba server (samba-3.0.10-1.4E.11) and Squid (squid-2.5.STABLE14-1.4E )on a Redhat Advance server 4 update 5. I have connected this server successfully to a Windows 2003 Active Directory (mixed mode). I have nsswitch.conf, krb5.conf configured and winbind seems to be running properly for the most part. With wbinfo I can get all of my user and group information. Problem is, it seems that at random times, the internet is stop browsing. If I restart the squid and winbind and smb service, then all seems to be well again for a while. Right now the only way I can keep this running is to run a cron job that restartes the samba and winbind and squid services every hour. This is really bugging me as I cannot figure out what is going on. Can anyone help me? I have included some of my configuration and log files below. Thanks in advance. ---------/var/log/squid/cache.log---------- [2009/09/26 12:02:40, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(245) Failed to parse NTLMSSP packet, could not extract NTLMSSP command [2009/09/26 12:02:43, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(245) Failed to parse NTLMSSP packet, could not extract NTLMSSP command [2009/09/26 12:02:43, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(245) Failed to parse NTLMSSP packet, could not extract NTLMSSP command [2009/09/26 12:02:43, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(245) Failed to parse NTLMSSP packet, could not extract NTLMSSP command [2009/09/26 12:02:43, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(245) Failed to parse NTLMSSP packet, could not extract NTLMSSP command [2009/09/26 12:02:43, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(245) Failed to parse NTLMSSP packet, could not extract NTLMSSP command [2009/09/26 12:02:43, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(245) [global] workgroup = DOMAIN netbios name = HOPROXY realm = DOMAIN.HOME server string = Linux Samba Server security = ads encrypt passwords = Yes password server = 10.1.5.11 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 preferred master = False local master = No domain master = False dns proxy = No wins server = 10..1.5.11 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes winbind use default domain = yes idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 client schannel = no ---------/etc/nsswitch.conf------- passwd: files winbind group: files winbind hosts: files dns wins winbind ---------/etc/krb5.conf----------- [logging] default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log [libdefaults] #ticket_lifetime = 24000 default_realm = DOMAIN.HOME dns_lookup_realm = false dns_lookup_kdc = false [realms] DOMAIN.HOME = { kdc = 10.1.5.11 admin_server = 10.1.5.11 default_domain = DOMAIN.HOME } [domain_realm] .domain.home = DOMAIN.HOME domain.home = DOMAIN.HOME [kdc] profile = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf [appdefaults] pam = { debug = false ticket_lifetime = 36000 renew_lifetime = 36000 forwardable = true krb4_convert = false } -----------/etc/pam.d/system-auth-winbind------------- #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_env.so auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix..so likeauth nullok use_first_pass shadow auth required /lib/security/pam_deny.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so account required /lib/secuirty/pam_winbind.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 type= password sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow password required /lib/security/pam_deny.so session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so session required /lib/security/pam_unix.so Regards, Ashraf.
