There is a LGPL client library (well library is probably doing it more justice than it deserves) called wb_client.c which is used in the NSS modules that talk to winbindd. I would think that would be a preferable way of talking to winbindd rather then rewriting code to talk the winbindd protocol. > - is the winbind team willing to add more RPC calls to the interface?
