Hi,
this problem applies to 2.2.4 and partly to head, too.
I need to set a username when connecting to a Win2K server using winbind.
The documentiation states "wbinfo -A user%password" would do the trick.
However this doesn't work. For wbinfo in 2.2.4:
- the "-A" option is documented, but isn't working.
(--set-auth-user is the actual name of the command but this is undocumented)
- secrets_init() isn't called so secrets.tdb isn't open.
- the username variable instead of user is stored (which is user%password
instead of user alone)
The patch below makes it work for me. In head the same patch can be applied,
with the exception of secrets_init() not being needed.
