<a.bokovoy@sam-solutions.net>. The idea is the domain\username is rather harsh for unix systems - people don't expect to have to FTP, SSH and (in particular) e-mail with a username like that. This 'corrects' that - but is not without its own problems. As you can see from the changes to files like username.c and wb_client.c (smbd's winbind client code) a lot of assumptions are made in a lot of places about lp_winbind_seperator determining a users's status as a domain or local user. The main change I will shortly be making is to investigate and kill off winbind_initgroups() - as far as I know it was a workaround for an old bug in winbind itself (and a bug in RH 5.2) and should no longer be relevent. I am also going to move to using the 'winbind uid' and 'winbind gid' paramaters to determine a user/groups's 'local' status, rather than the presence of the seperator. As such, this functionality is recommended for servers providing unix services, but is currently less than optimal for windows clients.

This extension provides a "wins" module for NSS on glibc2/Linux. This allows you to use a WINS entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf for hostname resolution, allowing you to resolve netbios names via start unix gethostbyname() calls. The end result is that you can use netbios names as host names in unix apps. 1) run configure 2) run "make nsswitch" 3) cp nsswitch/libnss_wins.so /lib/libnss_wins.so.2 4) add a wins entry to the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf 5) use it tridge@linuxcare.com
