Cross Forest Trusts

[Todd Stecher]

Given the following:


         	Forest A	< --------- Cross Forest Transitive Trust ---> 	 
Forest B

Child Domain of forest A



When a Samba server is joined to the child domain of forest A, and  
the share level permissions allow Forest B \ Domain Users, winbindd  
fails to authenticate the user - simply put, it cannot do a name-- 
 >sid translation for Forest B:


winbindd_group.c:winbindd_getgrnam(243)
[11:28am]
   could not get domain sid for domain W2K3.WEST.ISILON.COM

I'm pretty sure this is because we're using "crusty old" RPCs which  
don't do cross forest lookups - is this something which is slated to  
be fixed sometime soon?

Thanks in advance,
Todd
