Hi
Just to be utterly and 100%'ly correct. As I see it: Rowland is using a 
Samba4 installation as a client. He has a Samba4 DC running on another 
box. He is simply trying to use winbindd on his client to extract posix 
information from his Samba4 DC. As indeed he can with a Samba3 client.

So, to test Samba4 as a client, he should be able to take his smb.conf 
from a Samba3 client and drop it into /usr/local/samba/etc/samba/etc, 
join the domain and have it behave _exactly_ the same.

If Samba4 is a replacement for Samba3 as advertised, then his setup 
proves that something is wrong with the winbindd implementation in 
Samba4 as it is not pulling rfc2307 posix attributes from AD.

Always with the proviso that the samba is _not_ running on the Samba4 
client but _is_ running on his DC.

Summary:
Samba4 DC: samba
Samba4 Client: smbd, nmbd, winbindd

Have I got that right?
Cheers,
Steve
