hi, 

short: in a tipical Samba PDC + LDAP environment is winbind needed if i already 
fulfill unix attributes? 


long: 

i've been runing Samba PDC with LDAP as backend without any problems. my 
objects contains both sambaSamAccount and posixAccount (and shadowAccount) with 
uid, gid, homedirectory, etc. 

i'm setting up another samba server just for file services. in official docs 
says i must set up winbind: 

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/unixclients.html#ch9-sambadc 

but if i've already got uids and gids i guess i need no mappings. 

is this right? 

can i ignore winbind in my setup? 

regards, 

abosch
