Along these same lines, I don't have winbind running as of yet (in part due to time constraints and in part due a bit of confusion of winbind configuration) but am still able to interact w/ my W2K domain. The only negative is that the connections to Samba from XP clients is very slow, taking up to a minute for the connection to be made. I'm assuming/hoping that getting winbind up and running will resolve this.

What is winbindd supposed to get me? I've got a Samba member server as part of a Windows NT domain. User accounts have the same name in both domain. I was having all sorts of trouble when winbindd was running with wierd groups showing up. I happened to screw up the winbindd configuration without noticing causing it to crash, but I ran snmd and nmbd anyway and suddenly everything started working perfectly. The docs say you MUST run winbindd. I'm confused. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
