Winbindd crashed without any obvious reason so all NT users were unknown to the Linux machine. After restarting winbind it started identifying users as DOMAIN+username instead of just username. Then it turned out that restarting winbindd wasn't that successfull and a number of winbindd daemons was left hanging. Kill -9:ing them and then restarting winbindd didn't fix the usernames either. After rebooting the machine all usernames were correct again. Can I restart winbindd fully without rebooting the machine? Here's the crash dump that I found in the logs (before attempting restart).

I think this should already be fixed in 3.0.4. I remember we fixed a bug with and identical stack trace. I can't find an exact bug id though.
Thanks. It seems easy to repeat, so I'll try that. After a while I found the source. I was playing around with Sharity and checked the Store Credentials and Use as default boxes and that caused the crash instantly.
sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
