Samba winbindd and Sun PC NetLink; SID_NAME_USE type == SID_NAME_USE_NONE

[Arkadi E. Shishlov]

  Hi.
  We have a Sun PC NetLink 1.2 PDC running on Sun SPARC Solaris.
  I've tried to setup Samba 2.2.3a winbindd on Linux i386 to use
  NetLink PDC and failed at first attempt.
  wbinfo and getent works but authentication and uid translation
  does not.
  The problem: name_type, group_name_type, and similar variables
  in winbindd_user.c, winbindd_group.c, wb_client.c are always
  equal to SID_NAME_USE_NONE.
  When I commented out all code that performs name_type checks
  against SID_NAME_USER, SID_NAME_DOM_GRP, SID_NAME_ALIAS winbindd
  become functional.
  Like:

			  name_type));
		winbindd_store_user_cache_entry(domain, name_user, &negative_pw_cache_entry);
		return WINBINDD_ERROR;
	}
-
+*/

  I don't understand Samba internals and can't undertand code in
  cli_lsa_lookup_names() and at lower level, so any hints to debug
  this problem?
  Can it be NetLink bug (NT, 2k, XP works w/o problems) or endianess
  problems?

  Please, CC me, I'm not at list.
