Samba PDC and WinNT BDC

[Mike Papper]

So in cvs I would do something like:

cvs update -r SAMBA_2_2

??
I will test it out - weve been using tcpdump and ethereal to look at the
packet traffic between winbindd and the PDC - lots of traffic...

This is fixed in the current winbindd code in the SAMBA_2_2 CVS tree.
If you'd like to test it out that would be very welcome, a lot
of work is currently going on in this area to speed this up.
