[error] Refusing to activate profile unless those changes are removed or

authselect select winbind --force

Backup stored at /var/lib/authselect/backups/2021-10-13-22-52-26.HHhaHu
Profile "winbind" was selected.
The following nsswitch maps are overwritten by the profile:
- passwd
- group

Make sure that winbind service is configured and enabled. See winbind
documentation for more information.

I made backups but I was told to be sure passwd and group was there and had
the value of files winbind

I'm not running winbind service, I'm running the binary and I'm guessing
that's causing problems.

I am using Debian as my DC and Fedora is just a joining member that I'm
trying to use as a fileserver
