At this stage, we still don't recommend combining file server and DC
functions.  By separating these functions onto different (virtual)
servers, you can avoid this issue.

In the very long term, it is clear that we will need to change the
winbindd implementation to avoid these issues, but that isn't something
we can even contemplate at this point.
