Hi Matthieu

Nice work with the winbind.
I was wonder if u can give me some help with this issue
http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20100127.124344.7361f914.en.html

It seems that winbind still have trouble with samba3 over samba4.

I talked to *Andrew* Bartlett about this issue but he didn't figure out what
is the problem his.

The feedback he gave me was to create a tcpdump in a pacp format.
I did it, but I don't know what to do with it.

I test today the latest git version, and still the problem exists.
I also test it with a new opensolaris server, using the own built in cifs
server, which is very, very cool, but again there seems to be some issue
with the ldap on the samba4 server. the opensolairs trying to resolve the
users in the tree, but from some reason the samba4 block it.

Thank You for the help
Sassy
