Did you rename the libnss_winbind.so.2 file to nss_winbind.so.1?


No, i did not see that step in any of the documentation i have used.


For months I asked for review and feedback from Samba mailing list users. All feedback that I received was adopted. Samba is user supported software. The more people who provide documentation feedback, the better to documentation
becomes.
I was not active in this mailing list at that time but don't mean that to be an excuse, i will do better going forward.

The system accounts will use values of 500-1000, user acconts always above
999. i.e.: starting at 1000.

Remove the winbind*tdb files and restart winbindd.

I adjusted this range up much higher (1000000-5000000)

I then deleted these files as John recommended and the restarted winbind and smb.

Amazingly, now "getent passwd" returns the local user list with the domain users appended to it, W00T!

PS-The community effort that many people put into the lists as far as helping other users is always impressive to me and it's really something to admire but this afternoon topped all when i got a long distance call from John Terpstra, whose book i have sitting on my desk at home, and who wrote the Samba documentation that many of us use so frequently, the experience I have to say was a little intense.

60 seconds into the call John stated rather than asked, "Your really new to Samba aren't you?", I can only laugh when thinking about it.

John, Doug, Thanks for your help!
