[Samba] Can't chown a file to an ADS username

[Eric Diven]

Yes, these are only winbind startup messages, that's exactly the
problem.  I had in my nsswitch.conf file:

passwd:  compat winbind
shadow:  compat winbind
group:   compat winbind

which produced only the local names

To test, I changed nsswitch.conf as follows:

passwd:  winbind [UNAVAIL=retunr] compat
shadow:  compat winbind #so I have some hope of being able to log in if
I didn't get it changed back, maybe
group:   winbind [UNAVAIL=return] compat

and got *nothing* back from getent passwd.  I'm guessing this means I've
got a .so file in the wrong place somewhere.  Following the instructions
online, I have

/lib/libnss_winbind.so.2
/lib/libnss_winbind.so -> /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2
/usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so -> /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2

This sure looks correct, but it's pretty clear that winbind isn't
getting called.

the winbindd.log you posted contains winbind startup messages?
if not try to restart winbind and check winbind log for errors .
/etc/nsswitch.conf contains winbind related strings?
