Winbind on AIX

I'm trying to test this on AIX 4.3.3 ML 11 with Samba 2.2.8, but get an error
when I try to compile it because I don't have winbind_client.h. What is this
file?

This is a wonderful thing you're doing. I would love to have windbind on my
AIX boxes.

Subject:    Winbind on AIX


This is pretty much functionally complete, the memory stuff seems OK and
getgrset is implemented.

The AIX API has a getgracct call, that returns the group struct without the
list
of members.  Considering that some domain groups can be pretty big, doing
getgr[nam|id] can take a while for those.  Is there a wasy to get the struct
group from winbind without the member list so I can implement this call?  It
isn't required, so I don't think implenting it by doing WINBINDD_GETGR[NAM|ID]
and throwing away the member list is worth doing.

I'd also love to hear from people who are willing to give this a spin.
