No idea. We don't see that.

I would suggest a couple of things:

  1. Run FreeRadius in debug mode (-X) and do a test auth. Capture the 
ntlm_auth command and save it so you can re-run it later

  2. Re-start FreeRadius normally

  3. Wait until it stops working

  4. Run the ntlm_auth command from the CLI and examine the 
/var/log/samba/* files to see if anything obvious complains; possibly 
perform a "tcpdump" at the same time to see which DC your winbind is 
talking to, and if there's any obvious problem on-the-wire; examine the 
logs on that DC to see if there are any obvious problems there

...but it sounds like a Samba problem.
