Volker,

OK.  Let's assume that we get everythign worked on a DC
and standalone installation.  A Samba member server in a domain
can either (a) run winbindd, or (b) share Unix users and groups
with the DC via NSS.  The current 'winbind trusted domains only'
is a hack and only really works with users and not groups.

Therefore I would really like to finish the \unixinfo pipe
you started since IMO it is a piece of the complete deployment
solution.  Any objections there ?





cheers, jerry
