Here's where it gets opaque, I don't see a clear documentation for the tools that are used by samba to make calls into open-likewise db. One document I found, "Likewise Samba Guild" makes the claim that winbind is necessary, which makes sense is that the beast that is going be making calls into a wins system. I assume I'm completely wrong, but there's no documentation pointing that way.
So my question is this, with open likewise 5 and samba 3, does it use when winbind via the idmap backend = lwopen setting? eric Eric Smith Senior Network Administrator | Tech Soft 3D http://www.techsoft3d.com skype: eric_ae_smith phone: 510-333-1729 Build with the Best On Jan 18, 2012, at 1:45 PM, Volker Lendecke wrote: > On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 07:36:31PM +0000, Eric Smith wrote: >> I'm having a problem with winbind not able to start.
