Hello I found an issue with samba documentation on the website and in
the source archive. The document states to use "-B" with winbindd.
There is not a "-B" option for winbindd... I think it was intended to
be "-D" ?
[root at server source]# /usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -B
Invalid option -B: unknown option
Usage: winbindd [-?] [-?SFDinV] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-S|--stdout]
[-F|--foreground] [--no-process-group] [-D|--daemon] [-i|--interactive]
[-n|--no-caching] [-d|--debuglevel DEBUGLEVEL]
[-s|--configfile CONFIGFILE] [-l|--log-basename LOGFILEBASE]
[-V|--version]

"""
Alternative: Starting smbd as a Daemon
To start the server as a daemon, you should create a script something
like this one, perhaps calling it startsmb.
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -B
/usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -D

Great job on the documentation overall. I remember 10 years ago it
was much harder to read :) The HOW-TO's and EXAMPLES are especially
great.
