Hmmm. Looks like wb_auth might not be compiled properly (maybe?). I'm
assuming the " after the 'mypassword' was a typo.
A light bulb just came on for me: is winbindd and nmbd running when you
tried using "wb_auth"?? I remember having problems authnticating when I
started out but realised the underlying daemons weren't runing (forehead
slap). Just a thought.
Cheers,
James
