Re: [Samba] winbind: only domains option/patch

2010-02-06 Thread jrmailgate-samba
Thanks Volker!

I would like to add my voice to those requesting this enhancement!

We have a highly distributed number of domains that all trust each other, but 
member servers only have access to their local domain controllers. Having the 
ability to restrict the number of domains that the Samba server tries to 
contact will be a *very* useful addition.

Regards

JR

Nobody so far has asked loudly enough, that's probably the
only real reason. It's in my inbox now again. I had to do a
similar patch for an ancient Samba version for a customer
recently, but did not get around to put this upstream. So
there seems to be real need for it :-)

[Samba] winbind: only domains option/patch

2010-02-05 Thread Julian Regel
Hi.

In January 2009 a patch was sent to this list that introduced the winbind: 
only domains option to smb.conf 
(http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2009-January/062706.html). This 
provides the inverse of winbind: ignore domains and the creator of the patch 
explained that this was more useful (to him) that having to explicitly exclude 
domains.

Can anyone confirm if this patch was accepted, and if so, what version of Samba 
supports winbind: only domains?

If the patch has not been accepted, is there a particular reason why not?

Thanks

JR
