As Thierry and Anders pointed out above, this might be causing breakage. See bug #605326, for example.
Considering we are installing recommended package by default, this ought to be reviewed. I think winbind should be made a Suggests of wine instead, since the NTLM authentication feature is not something most users will actually need or want. That's what Debian does too. I do not see how this could be fixed in samba. Spinning ntlm_auth in its own package would not help, as it would (likely) depends in turn on winbind. I am retargeting this bug to wine again (sorry, Scott) so it can get some discussion. ** Package changed: samba (Ubuntu) => wine (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302148 Title: Installing wine starts winbindd as a daemon -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
