I am interested in using winbind for mapping users and groups across unix and windows domains. To achieve this samba documentation specifies the following entries in the nsswitch.conf
passwd: files(nis) winbind groups: files(nis) winbind My understanding of the smbd code is that getpwnam() is the only nss call that is really used in the context of mapping users/groups. My question is what is the basic minimal set of nss calls that I need to support in order to achieve user/group mapping. Here is why I am considering supporting only the minimal set of nss calls: we are using a platform where nss is not supported and the less number of calls we need to "nss-enable" the less work for us. We can keep the other password/group access calls nss-disabled. Any pointer in this direction will be highly appreciated.
