I don't know why the first poster needed it, but I know I need such an
option (and writing a patch for it is on my todo list, really, it is!),
because my smb.conf is in nonstandard locations.

As for removing smb.conf dependance altogether - I see the following
snippets in the code:
--
        if (winbindd_request(WINBINDD_INFO, NULL, &response) !=
            NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS) {
                printf("could not obtain winbind separator!\n");
                /* HACK: (this module should not call lp_ funtions) */
                return *lp_winbind_separator();
        }
--
if (!sep) {
                printf("winbind separator was NULL!\n");
                /* HACK: (this module should not call lp_ funtions) */
                sep = *lp_winbind_separator();
        }
--
       if (winbindd_request(WINBINDD_DOMAIN_NAME, NULL, &response) !=
            NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS) {
                printf("could not obtain winbind domain name!\n");

                /* HACK: (this module should not call lp_ funtions) */
                return lp_workgroup();
        }
--
        codepage_initialise(lp_client_code_page());
--

So I understand wbinfo wants the workgroup and the seperator, and the
client code page. Where can I get it besides smb.conf, as a commandline
paramater?
