That certainly seems like the correct fix.

OK, I took a look at your change:

https://gitlab.com/samba-team/devel/samba/-/commit/5ee90438cc2aa26514f60c7d72a3e854adee0148

and I see what you're doing here. I think
there still may be some calls that can
be initiated by wbinfo that cause the
parent process to try and do domain
activity and don't go through a child
DC.

Can we work together to track these down
and make sure we invoke a child process
for them ?

Cheers,
