[Samba] Re: Finally winbind on RH9 working, but why ?

[jo at neolabs.be]

Thanks for the reply ! But no such luck : 


#group:     db files nisplus nis

passwd:     files winbind
shadow:     files winbind
group:      files winbind

#hosts:     db files nisplus nis dns
hosts:      files dns

# Example - obey only what nisplus tells us...
#services:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files


*grin*
