No.  At -d4 the only thing added to the log when executing wbinfo -t is:

[2002/01/06 14:38:04, 3]
nsswitch/winbindd_misc.c:winbindd_check_machine_acct(58)
  [82765]: check machine account

This is a recently wiped, "new" test machine and only 3.0a12 has been
attempted on it.

If I rename my secrets.tdb, winbind will create a new one in the same
location.

Could it possibly FreeBSD related?.  I originally configured
using --with-winbind, and didn't notice until later that configure states
winbindd is only supported on Linux/Sun.

I'm most interested in Winbindd for use with Squid's new winbind based ntlm
auth module, so PAM may support may not be needed.  Squid may work OK now even
with the error, I haven't had a chance to test the squid side yet (on the list
for this week).

I would love to see pam_winbind on FBSD though.  Are there any plans to
officially support FreeBSD?

Thanks,
