[WIP] Re: [PATCH] Some fixes for Samba RODC

Hi,

The next set of RODC patches I am working on resolve most of the
remaining RODC issues I have outlined. The patches make the RODC
actually properly get a RWDC connection in winbindd. There are still
some edge cases where the RODC may reuse old read-only connections, so
that still is yet to be completely resolved.

The patches allow forwarding of wrong password to a RWDC -- directly
forwarding which allows for success in NTLM, while using dummy password
fields for Kerberos. Local successes can now be forwarded to the RWDC to
unlock the account across the domain using ResetBadPasswordCount in
SendToSam (MS-SAMS). The client side code appears to work correctly
against Windows. The server implementation of the reset bad password
count in Samba is currently missing an access check to ensure only RODC
cached accounts are modified. Otherwise, it all appears to be functional
(albeit without any written tests).

Any comments welcome. I'll be working on some tests to prove that the
resets actually work.
