I'm not quite parsing that statement. Are you saying that winbind was (a)
likely the cause of the problem or (b) somehow I really should have
winbind now?
To the best of my (admittedly limited) knowledge, 'security = user' does
not need nor involve a PDC. Is that correct?
I can only observe that all my Windows clients (10, 7, XP, Win98) and
MS-DOS clients are now working as expected.
