Bug Description
Binary package hint: likewise-open
On HardyHeron, if the network cable was not attached, or if
or user logged in too quickly, or the network wasn't quite ready,...etc.
we used to get a non-fatal error message:
"Domain Controller unreachable, using cached credentials instead. Network resources may be unavailable"
This message no longer appears on LucidLynx under the same conditions.
That message was non-fatal, as it would use cached credentials
to log you in, but it was a comforting warning, to let you know that
something may not be quite right, network-wise on the machine.
In most cases, it was mostly that you logged in immdediately
after booting up, and the network apps weren’t quite all started up.
Does it make sense to get that same warning behaviour back in LucidLynx?
Wishlist item. Looking into it.
