I provided what I thought was relevant and stated if more info was needed
to just ask. Instead, you just refer me to the main page of the wiki. I
don't know why you assume I didn't comb through the entire wiki looking for
the answer to my problem. Naturally, that's the first thing I did. Also, I
went through all the config related to NIS and Winbind and cannot find
anything that would lead me to think the OS shouldn't see the domain groups
and users. I checked the logs, still no errors related to that.

Can we get past this? I don't know what you expect from me? I'm asking for
help. What is it that you're missing from me to actually help me?
