[Samba] "winbind enum = yes" ... oreilly samba books says "turn off" ... but things break. confused :-(

[Wilkinson, Alex]

Hi all,

In the Oreilly "Using Samba" book pg 292 it is recommended to turn off
Winbindd(8) user and group enumeration (very expensive operation). However, when
doing this on FreeBSD -CURRENT the groups that users are in are not recognised.

When I enable user and group enumeration group permissions work (at least for
the first 16 groups) i.e. via chown(1).

So my  question is: From peoples' experience what do you do ? Turn "enum" on or
                    off ? And do you experience the same problem I do ? Or is
                    this just a FreeBSD issue ?
