I had everything working fine, and now it's not. (I use the ldap module to auth) When I look through the logs, I'm getting a winbindd_privileged error. I've seen that before, where you apply: chgrp radiusd /var/cache/samba/winbindd_privileged chmod g+rw /var/cache/samba/winbindd_privileged but that doesn't seem to be resolving in this case. I believe I did run yum update today and it updated samba. winbind won't start.
