[Samba] Samba from Sunfreeware and nss_winbind.so

Sunfreeware.com has compiled packages of Samba 3.4.2 with kerberos and 
ldap support included (if you also install the ldap and kerberos 
packages from sunfreeware.)   However it does not include the 
nss_winbind.so.*  or libnss_winbind.so.* files.


Solaris does include nss_winbind.so already (since it is included with 
Samba 3.0.x) or I could compile it from the 3.4.x source code.   But 
then I am not sure if either of these would be compatible with 
Sunfreeware samba.

I am using winbind in /etc/nsswitch.conf for supporting users in a 
trusted domain.    under samba 3.0.x "getent passwd" did return users 
from a trusted domain.   On 3.4 it is not, although "wbinfo -u" is working.


Thanks
