[Skunkworks] Ubuntu and Likewise-Open

Hello fellow skunks!!! I have joined an Ubuntu work station to Active Directory using likewise-open. Problem is, when the PC is switched off after some time, a local user not from the domain has to login and log out to allow domain users to login. If this is not done, no domain user can be authenticated. I am guessing it's because the likewise service only starts on login and on login means the local user has to login then log out. How do I overcome this problem? -- Regards, Adams John Opiyo.
