Annoying Minor Bug In Winbind 2.2.x

[Boyce, Nick]

As per my message an hour or so ago, I'm trying to get the winbind that
comes with Debian 3.0 Samba 2.2.3a-12 configured to allow me to telnet into
the box with authentication handed off to a real NT domain.

Anyway, even before I really get started, I find what seems to be an
obvious, simple and annoying buggette - if I stop and restart winbind (the
sort of thing you do a lot at this stage) then it fails to restart, with
this message in "/var/log/samba/log.winbindd" :
    "invalid permissions on socket directory /tmp/.winbindd"

Here's the permissions :
    /etc# ls -ld /tmp/.w*
    drwxr-x---    2 root     root         4096 Feb  6 21:33 /tmp/.winbindd

A quick Google Groups search (Samba.org's own archives being unsearchable)
comes up with just one hit :
 
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22invalid+permissions+on+socket+directory
+/tmp/.winbindd%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=b29cf7d1.0301240738.6e61

This guy's solution certainly works for me (simply rename the faulty socket
directory out of harm's way), but ... surely you folks saw this buggette a
few lightyears ago down the way.  Is it a known bug ?  Does a later Samba
2.2.x version fix it ?
