[Samba] problems with pam_winbind, that is linux box to samb a remote server

[Vizitiu, Ciprian]

It looks like the winbind "client" will NOT natively auth you against a
samba PDC. After 2 days of browsing through lists it looks like the cause is
this: (Kevin Stefanik)

"winbindd gets a list of domain controllers via 
broadcast and then confirms each directly with a unicast query to the 
controller itself (in cm_get_dc_name in winbindd_cm.c) specifically querying

the 0x1c role.  That query is coming into nmbd as a unicast query."

The solution (that worked for me) seems to be a small patch by Volker
Lendecke:
