[Samba] Winbind issue using samba 3.6.3

[Steve Snedeker]

We have a cross platform environment with a Windows 2008 server running Active Directory and many of our workstations are running ubuntu 10.10 using winbind for user authentication. The version of samba running on these boxes is 3.5.4

We are looking to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 which runs samba 3.6.3

I am able to connect to the DC, and am able to see the users running the wbinfo -u command, but when I run the getent passwd command I do not see the domain users.

I was able to successfully downgrade to samba 3.5.4 and after connecting to the DC I ran the command getent passwd and was able to see the domain users, and su to that particular user successfully. The only issue here was due to dependency issues downgrading to samba 3.5.4 resulted in libwbclient0 being downgraded which resulted in the removal of ubuntu-desktop.

I've seen other posts out there with similar problems, but haven't seen a solution that works for me.
