We have a new version of samba in the Beta channel.
This version fixes a number of errors like the one reported.
If you can try it and report if it is fixed, that would be great.

Thanks.

Comment 2 Andrew Cartwright 2007-12-13 02:07:34 UTC

Has this issue been properly resolved yet?

I am also experiencing this problem and it's a real problem as it causes file 
access difficulties.  This is particularly noticeable on Excel files where they 
permissions are changed to read-only.
For these files in a shared directory it then makes then unusable unless I 
intervene and modify permissions/acls which is quite disruptive.

I'm currently running samba 3.0.25b (RHEL 5 x86_64)

Comment 7 Natalia K 2008-11-14 17:05:21 UTC

I have the same error message showing up in machine smbd logs. I added machine to the domain successfuly. However, when I try to login on using a domain account on the added machine. It fails. The error message shows up: The system cannot log you on now because the domain ____ is not avaliable. Any ideas, what I am doing wrong ?. I am using samba 3.2.0 release 1.pre3.9.fc9 and Fedora directory server 1.1.1 release 3.fc9. 

Thank you 

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Should be already addressed in the latest versions of the package.
