Hi Andrew
I'm running the samba binary on the DC. It acts as an AD domain
controller and a (rather good) fileserver. I've no idea what nmbd does.
Without doing anything apart from adding the links to /lib and
lib/security for PAM, and adding winbind to /etc/etc/nsswitch, winbind
also fires up OK on the DC.
I came into the list around Nov. 2011. Alpha 18 I think it was.
IOW, I can use smbd and winbind on a Samba4 DC and it still acts as both
a DC and a file server.
But you seem to be saying that it can't. . .
Cheers,
Steve
