[12:43] <infinity> tinoco: pam-winbind and nss-winbind.
[12:43] <mdeslaur> tinoco: perhaps file a debian bug also?
[12:44] <tinoco> definitely. the proposal was to bring the discussion only
[12:44] <infinity> tinoco: Only statically linked to samba-libs, of course.  
You still want to be dynamically linked to any properly-versioned system libs 
(like libc).
[12:44] <tinoco> i wasn't supper happy about the approach either
[12:44] <tinoco> infinity: definitely. gotcha
[12:44] <tinoco> i'll work on it and provide a new sru suggestion
[12:44] <tinoco> tks!
[12:45] <infinity> tinoco: But yes, in the absence of properly-versioned samba 
libs, I don't see a better solution.
[12:45] <tinoco> infinity: yep, me neither. there would be always a time window 
for things to go bad
[12:45] <infinity> tinoco: The best solution would be for upstream to properly 
version all those little libs in samba-libs, and then break them out into 
individual packages.
[12:45] <infinity> tinoco: But I don't see that happening any time soon, if 
ever.
[12:46] <tinoco> ok. i'll document this for future reference (if they ever go 
that way)
[12:46] <tinoco> and will fix it on debian also
[12:46] <tinoco> tks infinity
