RES: [Samba] winbind/wbinfo not pulling info from W2K AD PDC

[Gibbs, Simon]

I've had a further look at this now and a hunt through some mail lists and I think it must have something to do with the windbind pipe in /tmp/.windbind/pipe. From what I understand it's the pipe that passes the windbind info onto other processes - although I may be wrong?
 
Looking at my setup the pipe file isn't being created when starting winbind and after a full reboot and starting winbind it doesn't get created.
 
Does anyone know why the pipe file isn't being created or a way to force the creation of the file??
 
I've checked permissions for the /tmp/.winbind directory and they're 755 and root:root.
 
 Apologies. I think I responded incorrectly to my original post - still getting the hang of this!
 
Thanks again.
 
 
 
Simon
