[Samba] Samba 4.10.13-1, AIX 7100-05-05 - winbindd not starting

[Bob Wyatt]

Posted some time ago on 4.6 - updated it to 4.10.13-1 as released by IBM.

Added a Kerberos configuration file, updated smb.conf, changed the startup
order to nmbd first, winbindd next, then smbd.

Now nmbd and smbd start, while winbindd does not.

Questions:

 

1.	Read that smbd wouldn't start without winbindd, starting at 4.9.

Yet it started here without it - is that right?

2.	Wasn't able to test with getent per the wiki for joining as a member

Not a valid AIX command; web suggested using lsgroups and lsusers,

Which only test local name and group resolution. Any other ideas how

it can be tested?

3.	Any suggestions for resolving my issue(s)?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
