Who knows how long winbindd has been kicking around in someones sandbox, but it certainly didn't find it's way into the public Samba 2.2.x codeline any earlier than about July of this year. I played around with the source code for samba 2.2.1 in June and winbind was no where to be found. Just going off of what has been posted on the Samba mailing lists, I understood that Winbind started in the Samba TNG codeline and was incorprated into the HEAD codeline around March or so. I knew that Winbindd was being used by people using CVS tags of Samba 2.2.x, but I didn't realize they were going to release it to the general public as it is a real bugger to setup.
