winbindd and solaris?

[Peter Zahn]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Dear Samba team,

scanning the samba docu and web/newsgroups, I was not sure whether
currently sambas (V2.2.0) winbindd would work on solaris (I
use solaris release level 5.7 at the moment). 

I tried it out and found that winbindd did compile & run and
could properly authenticate users in domain security mode (the log
contained proper confirmations).

Nevertheless I could not "login"/"rlogin", and it looks like the reason is
that the "winbind" callback in "nsswitch.conf" is broken and
the /usr/security/pam_winbind.so shared library is not called. When I 
looked at the symbols in pam_winbind.so, it looks that they define not what
the solaris "nscd" ("name service cache daemon" which operates the nsswitch.conf
file and the shared libraries called for name service) expects to be defined.

My Question: is this analysis correct and is there no way to make winbindd 
operate on solaris (in this case: is some development in process?), or is it
possible to make it functionable in some manner?

It would be great if somebody could give me a hint!

Thanks a lot,

Peter Zahn
