FW: Winbindd timeout on unreacheable domains

[Andrew Smith-MAGAZINES]

Hi Lin,

	many thanks, I've just tested this with Samba 3.0.2 and it also works for me. Is anyone able to technically endorse the fix Lin has applied, as I haven't researched the details or implications of these two different functions?

Jerry, I checked bug 704, which is assigned to you, but no action has been taken for this. Is there any target for resolving this issue? Are you happy to implement Lin's fix?

		thanks Andy.

Sorry, the patch is for source/libads/ldap.c
