<DIV>Hi,<BR><BR><BR>Yesterday, my building lost electricity. The
server was not plugged in to the UPS, so the server and all the workstations
lost power. When the electricity went back on, none of the computers would
login to the server. <BR><BR>I have a Ubuntu server and Edubuntu fat clients
that authenticate with the Oquist / Trask SMBLDAP script. <BR><BR>Any
ideas on where I can start hunting this problem
down?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><SPAN class=sg>Kari <BR><BR><BR><BR></SPAN></DIV>
