Hi Rowland

We ditched winbind totally in favour of the (much faster and 
predictable) nss-pam-ldapd. That coupled with NFS4 gets the job done 
albeit unofficially.

Yes, thanks for the offer. We'd be interested to see/compare any 
alternatives.

On a different note, we've only just discovered that s3fs is not yet 
ready as a fileserver and we have to split off from the DC and use a 
separate 3.6 box as the filer.

Cheers,
Steve
