Problem with updated SAMBA & NTP

FreeBSD-8.2 STABLE
samba34-3.4.14

A recent update os samba is now forcing me to enable "winbindd" or else
samba will not start. I have no idea why I need it enabled or how to
eliminate it and yet still get samba to start.

Now, when booting up "ntp" reports this error:

Updating motd:.
Starting ntpd.
Starting ddclient.
Starting cupsd.
Mar  7 17:03:24 scorpio ntpd_initres[1205]: host name not found: 0.us.pool.ntp.org
Mar  7 17:03:24 scorpio ntpd_initres[1205]: couldn't resolve `0.us.pool.ntp.org', giving up on it
Mar  7 17:03:24 scorpio ntpd_initres[1205]: host name not found: 1.us.pool.ntp.org
Mar  7 17:03:24 scorpio ntpd_initres[1205]: couldn't resolve `1.us.pool.ntp.org', giving up on it
Mar  7 17:03:24 scorpio ntpd_initres[1205]: host name not found: 2.us.pool.ntp.org
Mar  7 17:03:24 scorpio ntpd_initres[1205]: couldn't resolve `2.us.pool.ntp.org', giving up on it
Mar  7 17:03:24 scorpio ntpd_initres[1205]: host name not found: 3.us.pool.ntp.org
Mar  7 17:03:24 scorpio ntpd_initres[1205]: couldn't resolve `3.us.pool.ntp.org', giving up on it

These do resolve when I checked with "dig".

These are the entries in the "ntp.conf" file:

server 0.us.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
server 1.us.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
server 2.us.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
server 3.us.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9

Now it gets more interesting. Although samba claims that it is running,
I cannot connect to if from any Windows machines unless I manually stop
and restart it. This just does not make any sense.

I am at a loss as to where to start looking. Everything worked fine
until two days ago.
