Winbind

[Andrew King]

I managed to reply to Jerry and not the list (sorry Jerry). It's here:

- it's missing the stuff on PAM at the moment though, which is probably 
fairly essential for most people. There's some stuff in the html 
comments though, and the manpage also goes over this. Will try and 
include it in the next week sometime and update the document.

Yes - it was just small things: things like what to do if typing `wbinfo 
-t` returns "Secret is bad" or "Cannot check secret"; a mention of the 
'winbind use default domain' parameter in smb.conf (which is probably 
pretty vital to most people), and so on. I think that by including such 
possible error conditions in the documentation, more people are likely 
to get it working first time, and less people may need to post questions 
on newsgroups. It's the kind of stuff people hope to find when they turn 
to the docs but fairly often don't, due to one reason or another.

Let me know if you'd like me to carry it on or port it to sgml/xml or 
anything, or if there are other criticisms. Please also feel free to 
take any bits that would be useful and integrate them into the HOWTO. 
I'm assuming you mean the contents of the winbindd(8) manpage by 
'HOWTO', or there's another document out there that I've never found...

Thanks for your time,

Andrew
