SAMBA log question

[Michael Easterly]

Thanks for your reply! Is there a source that I could use that would tell me how to configure the service so that it doesn't look for groups that root belongs to? Everyday this log indicates that this happens 486 times. This also occurs for other local Linux accounts that are in use for that particular day. Any clarification that you can offer would be greatly appreciated. No local Linux accounts are in any groups in the Windows Domain. Thanks again!
 
Michael

	It simply means that winbindd has been asked for the list of groups
	that the user root belongs to and there is no such user named root
	in the domain you are joined to.
