ADS. I was under the impression that security = domain was broken with
SP1? Or has than been fixed in 3.0.14a?

Ok, so to clear this up in ADS continually, I'll need to make a cron job
that shuts down winbind, removes this file, and then starts winbind up
again?

Ahhh, and it's just not getting updated properly with ADS?

Cool. As long as I have a workaround, I'm happy, but it'd be nice to
have it cleaned up. Is 3.0.15 the next stable release, or does Samba use
the even=stable odd=devel numbering?
