Here is a re-working of the winbindd
reconnect code to cope with rebooting a DC. This replaces the code I asked Volker to revert. The logic is pretty simple. It adds a new parameter, "winbind reconnect delay", set to 30 seconds by default, which determines how long to wait between connection attempts. To avoid overwhelming the box with DC-probe forked children, the code now keeps track of the DC probe child per winbindd_domain struct and only starts a new one if the existing one has died. I also added a little logic to make sure the dc probe child always sends a message whatever the reason for exit so we will always reschedule another connect attempt. Also added documentation. Jeremy. (This used to be commit 8027197635b988b3dcf9d3d00126a024e768fa62)
