[Samba] 2.2.5 upgrade bug report - winbindd and password servers

[WEBSTER, Greg]

Boy this was a big scary headache! As well, I really wish the samba upgrade
didn't wipe my changes to /etc/pam.d/samba and /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb (back
them up instead, please).

Situation: 
	Upgrading Samba from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5. Samba is using winbindd for

	authentication.

Problem: 
	Under 2.2.4, smb.conf originally contained a password server
specified by 
	IP address:
        password server = 10.0.10.8

	After the upgrade to 2.2.5 authentication was failing... 
	'/usr/sbin/winbindd -d 3 -i' showed the following:
        Could not look up dc's for domain AHBLNT1
        Could not open a connection to AHBLNT1 for \PIPE\lsarpc
		(NT_STATUS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_NOT_FOUND)

Solution:
	Under 2.2.5, solve this by giving the machine name in the 'password 
	server' line or use an asterisk (untested with asterisk):
        password server = iman 10.0.10.8
