[Samba] nsswitch.conf & winbind

[David Michaels]

Samba 3.0.4 // Solaris 8

I saw this behavior as well, when doing wbinfo -u or -g, when I had 
"winbind default domain = yes" in my smb.conf file.  If you comment that 
out, then restart winbind, you should see your domain in wbinfo -u and 
-g.  For me, "getent" still returns my NIS entries only, but I think 
it's because I didn't properly install the "nsswitch" stuff from Samba.  
I'm tinkering with that now.  I don't think it's installed by default, I 
think you have to do some manual copying for that to work.

I'll post results once/if I get it working.
