Not so long ago I posted the same question and someone sent me this patch. I
was on RH 8.0 with 2.2.7 so I needed it.

After this wbinfo started to work with SAMBA PDC. It was 2.2.7 from RH8...
Well the patch worked with some small quirks but it can be done.
Unfortunately I don't have the original mail so I can't tell you who he was
;-). 

I remember him telling me that in 2.2.8 things should be fixed so maybe the
listers can tell you more about this.
