[Samba] wbinfo -i returns the same id for all users, authentication doesn't seem to go through winbind at all

It may be irrelevant, but I have:

  winbind enum groups = Yes
  winbind enum users = Yes

in mine.  The manpage makes no reference to 'enumerate' as a valid
option.

Eh?  The man page says that turning off enumeration may cause
programs to behave 'oddly' [i.e randomly or to exhibit undocumented
behavior].  That doesn't sound like a "good thing".  Perhaps
you are thinking about the advice on 'winbind expand groups'
where it cautions about high values possibly resulting in server
slowdown?

Remember what I said about using lists from my server
to find out what USERs & GROUPs are available -- turning that off
would not be good for me.

Is there something that has changed to make the older manpage's
advice no longer valid?

Tnx!
