Hi, winbind is used to "import" accounts from a windows machine. If all your accounts already exist on the samba machine then you don't need winbind. If you had a disjoint set of users on the samba machine and the windows machine then you would be able to see the union set by using winbind.
Does that help at all? Greg On Tuesday 16 December 2003 20:09, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I've got a Samba member server as part of a Windows NT domain.
