[Samba] winbind dead

[Thomas Vito]

Hi,

I run a rhel5 U2 server with samba 3.0.28-1
Each time i start winbind the process stops after a few seconds:

[***@amsdev-dv09 ~]# service winbind start
Starting Winbind services: [ OK ]
[***@amsdev-dv09 ~]# service winbind status
winbindd dead but pid file exists


[***@amsdev-dv09 ~]# rm -f /var/lock/subsys/winbindd
[***@amsdev-dv09 ~]# rm -f /var/run/winbindd.pid

[***@amsdev-dv09 ~]# service winbind start
Starting Winbind services: [ OK ]
[***@amsdev-dv09 ~]# service winbind status
winbindd dead but pid file exists

The RHEL system is up-to-date.

Any info?
Thanks

FYI SELinux is disabled so is the firewall.

Nevermind found the anser myself:
net ads join -U admin

and then restart winbind
