I thought I was told early on in this discussion that HP-UX doesn't like certain keywords in nsswitch.conf, and winbind is one of them. That being the case, isn't libnss_winbind.1 useless?
Discovered recently that this is no longer true for 11.00. Patch PHCO_26089 is resolving the conflict with libpam_unix.1, such that one can configure third party NSS backends honestly, without any faking around. :)
There is no such fix available for 11.11 yet, but I have been told it's on the way. Don's workaround using the "-r" option of the passwd command, explicitly specifying the NSS backend to be used, does work on 11.11, however. So one could already configure winbind NSS cleanly, provided PAM unix password management is not required for anything else than the passwd program. Cheers! Michael
