Steve,

Volker has initial work on this by defining a new
rpc pipe.  I'm interested in resolving this issue
before the next stable Samba release.  Would a
user space help that queried winbindd be a good
enough solution for you?  This would allow us to
leverage the same solution for domain member servers
without any additional unix information services.









cheers, jerry
