First, I want to thank folks for replying. :) When I did an strace the first time it pointed out that I created the symlink with the wrong name. After deleting and recreating the symlink, I got this:

It looks like the libnss_winbind.so lib is complaining about a file not existing. I checked and found that there is a /tmp/.winbindd but it doesn't contain a file in it called 'pipe' Daniel said: > Argh. Of course it would be the simplest answer, winbind enum user and > winbind enum group were set to No after reading "On large installations > it may be necessary to suppress the enumeration of users...", and > forgotten about. Hmmm... Are you saying it should be set to Yes, or to No?
