Hello all, I am upgrading some clients on my network to the RHEL 5.5 versions of the Samba/Winbind packages (samba3x-3.3.8-0.52) and have a few questions regarding them. I just upgraded my AD domain controller to the 2008 functional level thus requiring an upgrade of the Samba/Winbind clients so I revisited the configurations I had previously made. I have everything working however I have noticed when I boot a RHEL client or restart the Samba & Winbind services (in that order) I get a bunch of log entries in /var/log/messages like the following:
Jan 11 08:04:27 mn4s34052 winbindd[10980]: ERROR: Initialization failed for alloc backend, deferred! I then started wondering if I really need the Samba Or NMB services running anymore at all so I disabled both and authentication still continued to work just fine (with no entries like the one above appearing in /var/log/messages). If I am just using the Authentication & ID mapping features of Winbind can the Samba & NMB services be disabled?
