[Samba] Re: samaba winwind

[Chavez, James R.]

I am using 3.2.3, so it must be available for this version? 
I do not see it in the man smb.conf output if it is. Any links or docs
available out there that can help me grasp this a little better. Gotta
ask.

Thanks
James

You must not be using 3.0.28.  The config format changed and they made
an nss backend available.
