You haven't replaced it with anything. I think being able to exclude domains is useful, especially if you are in a large network of trusted domains and for some reason aren't interested in other remote domains. > This does not remove the _NO_WINBIND variable (yet), but I'm looking at > a 'getpid()' based replacement to prevent recursion and lockups on that > one. This is also useful, especially for debugging after you have locked up your system with winbindd and have to run 'killall -9 winbindd'. (-: > So, what do people think?
