[Samba] upgrade from 3.5 -> 3.6, now I have "no backend defined for idmap"

[Jobst Schmalenbach]

Hi Dale

that worked, thanks.

Just to clarify the "*" means everything else, right?
Cause now I am getting (only once) 

   [2013/02/04 07:50:48.519114,  1] winbindd/idmap.c:288(idmap_init_named_domain) no backend defined for idmap config BUILTIN

One strange side effect ... I have never had to reboot a machine because of a change to the samba daemon(s), a restart always worked. For a couple of days after the change I still was getting the message until I rebooted ... now I do not get the messages, weird.
