... as far as I understand the winbind thing, it is only making problems, if nscd is running as on 'http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html' in section 'NSCD Problem Warning' described. So is there a chance to get winbind _not_ installed if nscd is present? Greeting Jürgen Leibner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
