[Samba] winbind not working with openlikewise

[Eric Smith]

Here's where it gets opaque, I don't see a clear documentation for the tools that are used by samba to make calls into open-likewise db. One document I found, "Likewise Samba Guild" makes the claim that winbind is necessary, which makes sense is that the beast that is going be making calls into a wins system. I assume I'm completely wrong, but there's no documentation pointing that way.

So my question is this, with open likewise 5 and samba 3, does it use when winbind via the idmap backend = lwopen setting?
