Re: [squid-users] All ntlmauthenticator processes are busy.

    Anton,

    Samba might have lost communication with your PDC. Possible cause: PDC
reboot, network hiccup, etc.

    I had this problem quite often. Things worked great when I added the
following line in my smb.conf:

password server = *

    With this configuration, the Samba will try to authenticate your request
with any available BDC (if there's any), instead of trying to authenticate
solely with the PDC.

    Please, NOTICE: I use a DOMAIN configuration, not a AD scenario.

    Regards,
    Rodrigo.
