Title:
  winbind won't connect to server during startup

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm trying to use winbind to authenticate users from a Samba 3.5 PDC
  (CentOS) and I can't login to a domain account after (re)start.  If I
  login to a local account and run "wbinfo -u", the only users listed
  are the BUILTIN accounts.  If I then restart winbind and run "wbinfo
  -u" again, I receive the full list of domain users (and can from then
  on, login as a domain user).  I think this has something to due with
  the fact that winbind is being started before I have a network
  connection (wireless).  I can wait any length of time (15+ minutes) or
  login with a local user to where I know that I have a network
  connection, but still I cannot get winbind to behave until it is
  restarted.  Can anyone help me track this down?
