I agree.  I had already stumbled upon this -A switch to wbinfo and then
read the winbindd man file and it states: "winbindd is a daemon that
provides a service for the Name Service Switch capability that is present
in most modern C libraries."  This sounded to far from what I was trying
to do. :-)

I'll try setting up the winbindd and using wbinfo -A.  Thanks for the help!


Best regards,
