That doesn't solve the problem.
At connectathon we had a PDC and a BDC, both Win2000 servers. When a
new user was added to the PDC it didn't show up in wbinfo for over 5
minutes because the PDC and BDC were not running their replication
protocol often enough and Samba had chosen to talk to the PDC.

very true, but waiting 5 minutes for user changes to show up isn't
really acceptable :)
