Clint,

If the HOWTO I pointed to does not solve your problem please let me know.
I need reviewers of ths documentation so that when samba-3 ships we do not
have the litany of issues with winbind we are seeing on this list right
now.

It is way too demanding time wise for anyone to answer each
request/problem in detail on this list. At the end of the day if the
documentation we provide is not sufficient then life gets to be very
demanding for those of us trying to help people. Who knows, with the pay
rates for those who respond on this list they may even quit! :)

So all I am asking is, plesae review the HOWTO I pointed at and let me
know if it is not adequate.

Thanks.
