winbindd problems with red hat

[sciguy125]

Winbindd is giving me some trouble. I'm running Red Hat 9 and the version of samba that came with it - 2.2.7a. It's acting like it has a memory leak or something because the amount of memory it uses keeps going up. After about 24 hours, it's up to over 26mb. I left it for a few days and it got up to over 150mb. Restarting it every so often seems to be patching the problem, but it's annoying.

I've tried upgrading to the newer versions of samba, but winbindd doesn't work at all on those. When I try to start it manually in Services, it says that there's an error, but doesn't say exactly what the error is. I've tried downloading the binary and compiling from source but neither of them works. I haven't tried the latest versions - 3.0.4 and 2.2.9 - because I don't feel like trying to download such big files when the others didn't work any way. Am I missing something for these?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try 2.2.8 or 2.2.9, although I don't run RedHat, I haven't heard of this problem on either of these Kernels.

The files aren't that large, so I suspect you are on dial-up. That sucks, but it sure sounds like a bug you are running into.

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.
