[Samba] wbinfo --ping can't find winbind?

[James Chase]

I have compiled 3.5.12 from source on CentOS 5.7. I am using krb5.conf, 
smb.conf files that have worked with other 3.5.x installs of Samba (at 
least in terms of wbinfo working) but now I am not able to get any data 
from winbind. The server is running and the logs don't report any 
errors. I had done several 'make uninstall' while compiling/recompiling 
with different options. Could the problem somehow be related?
