Just remember than winbindd is now simply a state machine.
Only a few calls are really traceable in the main winbindd.
User/group enumeration, getgrnam(), and the pam server calls
IIRC. Other than than, the best trick I found is just to
attach to the correct winbindd. Of course, you have to
figure that out. The "debug pid" & "debug timestamp" options
are helpful here for the log files.
And I find inserting sleep() calls in the code in order to
give me time to attach is helpful.
cheers, jerry
