Nope, nothing like that on my DVD, which I downloaded from LinuxQuestions.org. Perhaps there is
a new DVD, or maybe that info is just on the Slackware website. Rather an obscure communication
of something that can grind your system to a halt. Very unlike Slackware.

Yes, here is the entire section on that from ldbsearch. You can see the gidNumber is 10000:

The question remains, why is winbind not getting this info from sam.ldb? Everything appears to
be in the right place.

Can I turn on some debugging for winbind? Where is it started?
