[Samba] RE: winbind/wbinfo not pulling info from W2K AD PDC

[Gibbs, Simon]

A bit of success! I've change the security parameter in smb.conf to domain and the windbind pipe is created OK and running wbinfo -u -g -t -p and getent is all good. Obviously this doesn't give me full AD support but it's better than nothing.
I can only think that because we have multiple DC's for different domains on our WAN winbindd wasn't starting correctly as it was in the process of still scanning them - looking at log.winbindd at one point it didn't come back for close to 4 hours after the process was started.
Does anyone know if there is any way to configure samba/winbind to only connect to the local AD domain rather than hunting down all the DC's in every domain.
Thanks
