I have an Ubuntu server that is able to authenticate users against our Domain. I can not contact the person who set this up, but I do find these packages installed:
libaprtil1-ldaplibldap-2.4-2sambaOur server is taking a good minute or so to authenticate ANY user at this point. I believe that it is because one of our DCs was disabled a couple weeks ago. This causes many programs I use to timeout before successfully authenticating. I do not want to uninstall anything, as I do not want to make more work for our admin. I just need some suggestions on how I can disable this in the meantime, until things can get fixed.
