Just as a note of caution (I'd also forgotten to replace the
/lib/libnss_winbind.so and /lib/security/pam_winbind.so from 2.2.3a - thanks
Andrew) - connections to the share were being made with root privileges, not
the connecting user.  I was getting the same errors about process_loop, and
the log file for my PC said:
mypc (123.45.67.89) connect to service FILES as user domain+user (uid=0,
gid=0) (pid 13578)
The domain+user bit was right, but as you can see the uid and gid were root.
After correctly installing the libs, connections now say
mypc (123.45.67.89) connect to service FILES as user domain+user (uid=10000,
gid=10000) (pid 14565)
However, I am still seeing the process_loop errors every ten minutes in
log.winbindd:
[2002/05/09 11:10:00, 0] nsswitch/winbindd.c:process_loop(613)
  process_loop: Invalid request size (4) send, should be (1304)
with no-one connected.  Any ideas?

Thanks
