winbindd: Domain password server not available.

[Winston Nimchan]

Followed the instructions and every thing looks like its going thru ok.
But when i use the getent passwd, I'm only seeing users on my samba box,
no domain users.

what parameters should i use to compile samba and how should I go about
that

Regards

The documentation is slighly out of sync with the real implementation.
I think this is because the winbindd in 2.2 is a backport of the real
work in
HEAD.

Read: http://thor.cantech.net.au/~tony/samba/winbindd.8.html  You should
see
some minor differences.
Essentially it boils down to:
smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC -U

Not the samedit stuff.
