You deleted the wrong one, you should have deleted 'color'

OK, this is from a Samba AD DC, so remove these lines, they have no 
place in a DC smb.conf:

     host msdfs = no
     vfs objects = acl_xattr
     map acl inherit = yes
     store dos attributes =yes
     security = user
     winbind use default domain = yes

I would also remove these:

     winbind enum groups =yes
     winbind enum users = yes

They only make 'getent passwd' and 'getent group' work without supplying 
a username or groupname, they can also slow things down.
